I’m in a Q+A session with Monica Botkier at LunaBoston.

Some choice quotes by Monica:

“Every bag has a personality, especially by the time we are done designing them we know them very well. We sit around and let the bags tell us their name. It either fits or it doesn’t.”

“I am a downtown girl. Very inspired by Crosby Street where our offices are, that’s our theme for Fall 09 upcoming. Rocker Chic on Crosby St..”

In response to pronouncing the brand name: “It’s totally phonetic, you do pronounce each letter. BOT-KEY-AIR.”

In addition to the interview, the Spring trunk show has been revealed, and my favorite is the Kai Convertible Hobo, which sold for $595, shown above. The color is Pearl Gray, which is completely versatile for spring. Plus, it’s roomy enough to hold your whole life for a day.

Go ahead and join the conversation with Monica for one more hour!
