boyy

Founded in 2006 in New York City by the husband-and-wife duo Jesse Dorsey and Wannasiri Kongman, Boyy is an accessories brand born from a desire to create something more masculine to counter the era's overtly feminine handbags. The brand's name itself is derived from Kongman's nickname, "Boy". Their philosophy centers on a balance of masculine and feminine aesthetics, resulting in structured, clean-lined bags that quickly gained a cult following. This identity was solidified with the introduction of their signature oversized buckle, making their products instantly recognizable. While founded in the USA, the brand has a global presence with headquarters in Milan and Bangkok, reflecting its international perspective and the founders' backgrounds (Dorsey from Canada and Kongman from Thailand). Boyy sources its high-quality leathers from Italy and manufactures its shoes there, while accessories are assembled in Thailand. The brand has also ventured into sustainability with its 'BOYY UP' initiative, which upcycles deadstock materials into new, limited-edition pieces.
