About Botkier
In 2003, while working as a fashion photographer, Monica Botkier was on the brink of becoming the internationally recognized accessories designer she is today. Using her developed photographer’s eye for detail and artistry, Botkier created a new niche in the fashion industry. Inspired by her urban chic and busy downtown Manhattan lifestyle, Monica designed her first handbag collection that resulted in immediate cult status.
