Botkier Brinks

Above is Monica Botkier modeling her very own Brinks bag. I remember back when this bag was introduced with the Fall 2011 collection, I was instantly obsessed!

For a daytime bag, the crossbody trend is one that I refuse to let go of. I like the idea of having my hands free, especially when shopping or roaming throughout the city. And the size is just ideal for daytime action. It’s just right, not too big, not too small. You probably can’t get away with carrying around your little extra luxuries in there, like an iPad for example, but the size is generous enough for all those other importanties (like your wallet, camera, cosmetic case, phone, reading material, etc).

Another neat feature about this bag is the unique main focal piece: the hardware. That money-clip inspired tab closure is such a nice touch. Goes with the name, Brinks – named after those Brinks Armour secure transportation trucks. So it’s safe to say your necessities will be kept safe!

StefaniBags has the Botkier Brinks in Saddle Lambskin and Aubergine (*deal alert*) currently on sale for $298 (original price $425)
