Botkier Brooklyn Hobo | Modern Tasseled Boho Leather Handbag

Posted on: May 13

Botkier brings an uptown vibe to the classic bohemian hobo with the Brooklyn bag.

This is a purse which stays true to its roots, effortlessly blending New York attitude and boho style. The lush leather works with grommeted details to give the Brooklyn its contemporary edge, while the long tassels which drape from the base bring the necessary amount of boho style. It's an interesting combination, and one that I think works best in the matte colors of gray cement and camel. The natural snake alternative is sophisticated to be sure, but we tend to lose a lot of the details in the mottled skin.

The natural slouch of the leather helps to hide the large patch pocket on the front. This discreetly gives us extra storage space, not that most of us will need it. This is a generous hobo, which is just as kind with its features. A convenient pen slot and key hook work with the more traditional open pockets and zip pouch to create a space that's incredibly user-friendly.

Botkier is famous for creating high-quality purses at prices more reasonable than its European competitors. At $495, this is another relatively affordable handbag from the American label.
