I’m all about handbags with interesting details, and Botkier sure loves to produce them. This brand seems to enjoy including as many buckles, zippers, studs, and other features as possible without taking its styles to a tacky, overdesigned place.
Some might consider this Uma satchel a little overdone, but I happen to like what Botkier’s done with this one. Sure, the ruching detail is quite abundant on the Uma, but it certainly has a slouchy style all its own.
In addition to the ruched leather all around the bottom half of the handbag, there are also double buckled details on each handle anchor. Though they appear to be simply decorative, the buckles add a certain sense of structure to an otherwise completely relaxed silhouette.
Don’t think that Botkier would leave it at just buckles and ruching though. There’s also a zippered pocket on the exterior of the bag. It’s not completely obvious due to the folds on the leather, but it’s nonetheless practical for its existence. A detachable strap gives you a second carrying option along with the standard rolled leather handles.
