Gossip Girl and Mercy star Michelle Trachtenberg has teamed up with luxury label Botkier to create this sexy blue satchel. A portion of proceeds from the sale of the Michelle will benefit Oxfam International, a charity which helps the world's poorest.
The subtle slouch comes from the buttery soft Italian lambskin finish. Vertical belting, braided handles, and pyramid studs give the satchel a very of-the-moment look. But it's practical too, with plenty of interior space and pockets inside and out. The straps are a little shorter than I'd like, so I'm thrilled to see the longer, detachable, shoulder strap.
The Michelle has some on-trend features, but enough classic styling to give it a timeless appeal. That's much like Michelle Trachtenberg's own style! I can imagine this bag looking killer with a favorite pair of jeans and a cute T-shirt with a rock band logo.
The Michelle will hit stores this November. It’s mid-priced for a Botkier bag with a retail value of $545.
