Here are pix of the Botkier's Venice Satchel in ocean. This bag is great because it's a chameleon bag. When you use the handles, it's very much a satchel but when you use the shoulder strap, the shape of the bag changes and it becomes a hobo. It's not simply a satchel with a shoulder strap. KWIM? Plus the should strap has a nice zipper detail to it. But let's focus on the beautiful blue color of this bag. If ever there was a great neutral blue, this is it! If you can get away with it, this would make a great work bag for spring/summer. The Venice Satchel is approximately 16.25" wide and 10.25" tall. This is a lambskin bag and also comes in naked (light peachy tan) and black (but it has a crinkly texture). It's a fairly lightweight bag at 2.08 lbs. The weight of a bag is very near and dear to me. I refuse to carry bags that are heavy to begin with; heavy bags just end up sitting in my closet because...well, they tire me out (my bf can attest to this). I willingly admit that I'm wimpy when it comes to hauling heavy things. Like the Howard St. Satchel, there's a slight glaze to the bag. For some reason, I feel that a glaze finish makes the bag a little more resistant to stains/water (this may not be the case but that's how I feel about glazes). My full video review will be posted this week!
