Boyy Bobby 23 Soft Bag
“Thai brand Boyy has flown under the radar for many, but its pieces are impossible to ignore once you see them.

The textured brown leather is another story; it’s rich, tactile and utterly irresistible.”

Pink Jambu Cannoli Clutch
“Malaysian designer bags don’t come around often, but the Cannoli clutch from Pink Jambu is worth a second look. I’m always drawn to an elongated design, and you really can’t go wrong with a checkered pattern. It’s easy to style too—whether with traditional wear or a simple dress.”

Songmont Luna bag
“If you’ve been following Chinese brands, you’ll know Songmont has been making waves for years, and the Luna bag is one to know. It’s not new—it went viral for good reason: it can be worn four different ways, almost like getting four bags in one. It also features a structured silhouette, adding polish that suits errands or evenings out.”

I’m always impressed by the attention to detail, and one piece that’s caught my eye recently is the Bao Bao Issey Miyake Boston bag. Its triangular PVC panels feel modern and unique, and the adjustable handle and shoulder straps make it practical and chic.”

Beyond The Vines ParaPack
“I first discovered Beyond The Vines a few years ago during a work trip to Singapore. I stopped by their Takashimaya store, and everything caught my eye—the vibrant interior and playful range of bags. But it was the ParaPack that really stood out. I love how versatile it is: it can easily transform from a tote to a crossbody. Its nylon construction is also water-resistant, making it perfect for unpredictable weather.”
