While most folks were busy getting an eyeful of the new Chanel arrivals at the Nordstrom Chanel Trunk Show, I wandered over to the big, red 'Reduced!' bin and rifled through its selection. I came up with two Botkier 'Trigger' east west satchels, in stiff gold metallic leather (left) and sooooft black lambskin (much like the aqua green on the right.) The east west satchel reminds me a bit of the Balenciaga motorcycle bags, like the 'Bauletto' , with that curved top, stark zipper lines, and pin straight tassles. While I wasn't too fond of the gold, I was smitten by the soft feel of the black lambskin, and I thought the size was perfect for me. Both were down from US$610 to US$304.90! In other words, I could not resist. I succumbed. My first catch of the day! Was I able to call it a day and stop myself from more shopping? Stay tuned!
