Every season I try very hard to invest in just one new handbag. The effort is not in the picking of the bag, it’s in picking only one from the many I tend to covet. But as they say, more is not always better. Of the new bags I bought this spring (yes, I was a total glutton and bought several) I am, hands-down, getting the most use out of my BOYY Slash bag.

First of all, it’s just a great looking bag. Let me be clear, this is definitely more of a cool-girl bag than a statement bag. There are no logos, just a fabulous shape, a super-chic chain shoulder strap, and lots of functionality. Because the top, python-embossed flap is reversible, it can be worn all black (or brown) or with the contrasting detail showing. A great bag to travel with, it lays completely flat and does not weigh a ton. It also goes from day to night easily because it is neither too big to be just a “day bag” nor too small to relegate it to the evening-only options. And thanks to the smart, detachable shoulder strap, it transforms into a clutch, giving you FOUR completely different looks. It’s no wonder why this is the most used bag in my collection right now.

BOYY makes only bags (well, one wallet) in several styles and shapes. All of which are unique, wearable and thoughtful. I bought my Slash bag at Scoop, which does not have an e-commerce site yet, but you can buy the whole line on BOYY’s website. The Slash bag retails for $595 and is definitely worthy of that price tag because it will be on permanent rotation in my closet!
