Botkier strikes the balance between feminine elegance and rock and roll edge with the Olivia shoulder bag.
The pyramid studded belt accent and angular trim bring the punk rock style. But this is balanced by the Olivia’s petite package and soft ruched leather. In the hands of a less capable designer, the vision could easily become confused, yet somehow Botkier pulls everything together.
The sugar and spice approach is also adopted by the single shoulder strap. Chain straps on the side appear tough, while the leather center softens the look. It’s also a practical touch, making the strap comfortable to carry over your shoulder or in your hand.
This purse is on the small side, so packrats should beware. The narrow design does make the Olivia look elegant, but it also restricts storage space. It will require careful packing, and perhaps a little trimming down, to fit your everyday essentials inside. Yet there’s also something a little liberating about traveling a little lighter.
This shade is called antique silver, but there’s nothing old-fashioned about it. This contemporary color is a real head-turner, the kind you’ll either love or hate. Thankfully for traditionalists, the Olivia is also available in basic black.
