I was checking out the Luna Boston website today when I stumbled upon a Botkier style that I had never seen before. This interesting little bag is called the Botkier Orion Small Shoulder Bag and it is new for Fall 2009. But wait, isn’t Orion a constellation? And a large, conspicuous, and widely-recognized one at that! Now it has been a long time since I have taken an astronomy class… but if you ask me, this little guy resembles a hot pink soccer ball rather than the mythical Greek hunter. Don’t get me wrong girls, I do believe this bag lies somewhere in the realm of cute. The funky hexagonal pattern and silver-tone studs give this bag a very unique look. But given it’s small size, I think I would have labeled it an evening bag instead of a shoulder bag. The extra long chain and leather strap makes this the perfect crossbody bag for a night out. This worry-free style let’s you mingle or dance without it ever leaving your side. And bright colors are a girl’s best friend in dark and crowded places! Plus it is said to be large enough to hold a credit card case, digital camera, and a few beauty essentials. It’s definitely worth a second look!

The Botkier Orion Small Shoulder Bag measures 6″ x 6″ x 5″ and it retails for $275. Find it at Luna Boston. Like it, but looking for something a little less conspicuous? Check it out in the Gunmetal version!
