My latest obsession is this amazing bag from the brand Boyy. The bag, named Slash entails the perfect combination of soft and slouchy luxuries leather exterior with a rough and sexy, rock n’ roll finish.

What makes this bag even more alluring is the brands origin and history.

The designer duo;  Wannasiri Kongman, fashion designer from Bangkok,Thailand and her partner, music producer, Jesse Dorsey from Montreal, Canada took the DIY-concept to a whole other level. No office, no marketing or PR-staff, no factory and no other seamstress but Wannasiri herself. Just the two of them, a lot of hard work, talent and a bit of luck.

When Wannasiri was studying fashion in NY, she, as every other student,didn’t have the liquidity to buy a designer bag, so she made one herself. Never could she have expected the overwhelming respond her creation received  from people on the streets of NY and even from a former Marie Claire fashion editor, asking Wannasiri if she could make a similar bag for her. WowZa!

Lou Dillon – also a fan

For me, another fun fact about the bags are their names. In an interview Wannasiri Kongman stated that she uses boy-names for her bags, because she loves the idea of always having her boyfriend by her side – how cute is that!

Well, anywho. The Boyy brand is not exactly easy to get a hold of here in Scandinavia, but I know for a fact that  Zornig at Gammel Kongevej will be getting them this spring, and who do you think is already on the waiting list …
