Express you own unique style!
Botene’ is very special to me.
Botene' is a boutique of love for different cultures, colors, print and style." tene' " pronounced "tanAY" means "love" in an african dialect. I always wanted to combine my love for fabrics, texture, colors and prints to open a “Bo”utique. And thus was born " botene' ".
I started Botene’ after my travel to Greece. I was very inspired by their culture, great food and beautiful scenery. I was surprised by the way Santorini was all painted uniform blue and white, inspired by the beautiful ocean around it. When I got back home, I begin to notice people around me from all over the world trying to fit in, still holding their unique culture within and how that inspired and separated them from the rest. Hence, Botene’ came to life.
All the fabrics are sourced around the world including India, Japan and US. They are individually handpicked by me and each of them has their own unique story and inspiration. These sleeves are handmade in Botene’s studio in downtown Chicago. We use high quality foam and lining material to provide extra security to the laptops/e-readers.
These sleeves are meticulously handcrafted to exude a personal style while being thoughtfully functional
