Botkier “Lita Hobo”
Oooooh… Me like! Me like very much! The shape is simply to die for! The perfect hobo shape! I found this beauty on the Botkier official site, nowhere else, and it is available online only in this pattern. I think I would like this bag even better if it was in plain, light brown leather, but even like this, it looks gorgeous. I know it will be available in fuchsia as well, since it is featured in one of the SS08 ad campaign. Hopefully we will see Lita in more colors soon.
It is made of Italian lambskin, so it is definitely soft, and we love soft! 
This is not strange since we are talikng Botkier afterall, but I had to say it out loud. As you can see from the ad I included, Lita fits on your shoulder prefectly - the 10″ handle drop is just right for a perfect fit under your arm and finding something in it shouldn’t be much of a hassle either, making it a beautiful and very practical day bag.
The only thing about the taupe snakeskin one that is kind of getting in the way is the light colored leather accent, which is making this bag look kind of sporty to me, and in no way should this bag be or look sporty if you ask me. The accent line itself is a nice detail, since it eliminates any chance of this hobo looking plain but it should stick out less. If it was the same color as the rest of the bag it would fit perfectly. This is why I want to see more color options, and I do not fully understant why Botkier decided to offer only the version available for online purchase on their website. As for the interior, it is conveniately equipped with 4 pockets (one zipped). The flap and the turn lock closure neatly round up the whole look making it a really interesting and striking bag.
Anyhow, to wrap it up, Lita is a wonderful bag which will serve you for more than only a single season. Taking into account it’s more than acceptable price, you cannot go wrong with Lita. We love it!
SIZE: 14″ x 7″ x 12.5″

I’m a shoe addict and don’t own any super trendy/expesive bags. I decided it was time and just bought this bag is a frosty gold colour at NM at it is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!! To top it off I got it at $200 off! The fit is perfect, especially for a small person like me. I love it so much I’m thinking of buying a second one in the colour pictured here!
How did you manage to get a $200 discount at Neiman Marcus? I saw it at Nordstrom today and love it too.
Lynn,
Three versions of Lita are currently available at here (Nordstrom) for preorder at $385 a piece.
Maybe she got the satin version which is like $200-$300 cheaper. I am the queen of promo codes and coupon codes on the internet, and I cannot possibly understand how she got $200 off at Neiman Marcus. Doesn’t make sense.
