Botkier to launch shoes as brand turns five

The home of the Bianca bag, Botkier, turns five this year and they’re celebrating by launching a collection of stylish but also comfortable footwear.

“This seemed like the perfect fit for us as we’re embarking on our fifth year in 2008,” explained Monica Botkier. “We felt like we created such a niche in handbag market, and we thought we’d do the same thing for the shoe market,” she continued. “There are the Louboutins, and the lower-range shoes, but you really can’t find a pair of great booties for under $500.”

Inspired by the idea of a Malibu afternoon, the shoe collection includes sandals, ballet flats, hammered ring stilettos, and peep-toe mod ankle booties. All the shoes are made in Italy and priced between $200 – $500.

    The shoes are gorgeous, and look like they are pretty supportive in the heel without compromising on looks.
