As many of you probably already know, I have had a bad case of the Oooo’s and Ahhh’s ever since I saw the Spring 2009 Collection from Botkier. Oddly enough though, I stumbled across this Botkier style today that I have never seen before. It is also part of the Spring 2009 Collection and it is called the Venice Hobo. What I found most appealing about this bag is the incredibly tough-girl chic aura it has about it. I just love the thin tassels raining down from the zipper pulls on the front of the bag. Plus all those zippers are not just for show, there are actually three exterior pockets on this bag. They offer the perfect places to keep the things that you need right at your fingertips.

But I suppose that was Monica‘s ultimate goal, wasn’t it? Functionality and style, that is. My only regret is that this bag is currently only available in Black. I did, however, see this bag in a yummy yellow shade on Botkier’s official website. Hopefully that means Black will not be the only color available for too much longer.

The Botkier Venice Hobo is constructed of soft, lightly polished leather. It measures 17″ x 12″ x 6″ and it retails for $595. Find it in Black at Luna Boston
