Botkier certainly doesn’t create bags without personality. Though the brand usually offers ones that are slightly tamer than this pewter-colored satchel, women looking for an eyecatching tote will gravitate toward the Violet.
I’m not always drawn to metallic handbags, but this particular combination of pewter with brown leather trim is somehow contemporary and classic at the same time. The contrast of the two styles creates a funky dynamic, and the details only add to that vibe.
The simple pleating on the front pocket is a nice addition to the look of the Violet, although it probably stands out more on this pewter-colored version than on the green or black color options. The small strip of brown leather that runs horizontally between the front pleat draws attention to the detail, whereas the other versions are one color from strap to bottom.
In fact, the brown trim on this Violet bag draws the eye to all of the features such as the buckled handle anchors with modern barbell-shaped hardware. However, this Botkier bag was built for more than style. The Violet satchel is roomy and comfortable to carry due to its rolled handles. You can get this stylish pewter handbag for $595.
