DESIGNERS

Monica Botkier has always had an eye for detail. She began her career in fashion as a photographer, working on shoots for leading fashion magazines. A born and raised New Yorker, Monica was living and working downtown when she created the Trigger bag in 2003. Inspired by her busy downtown lifestyle, the Trigger became known as ‘the bag that launched an industry’ and resulted in immediate cult status.

Botkier has created a niche in the market where there was a void, an approachable designer brand. Botkier was the first independent designer accessories brand and Monica continues to run the business with the same innovation and passion as she did from its inception. Botkier accessories embody luxury through custom detailing, innovation and quality while focusing on functionality.
