If you find yourself asking how your accessories can fuse charming French style with pragmatic American utility, allow Givenchy’s new Voyou bag to be your answer.

Designed by the maison’s creative director, Matthew M. Williams, the Voyou bag has been crafted for men with a touch of edge in their style, its name hailing from the French slang term for “bad boy.” First presented in Givenchy’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection, the bag speaks to the blending of sleek design with rebellious modernity that Williams has become notorious for in his run at the helm of the brand. “I wanted to revisit fashion archetypes with a kind of new language and a playful attitude,” shared Williams. “It’s at home wherever it goes, and it makes an everyday style statement that has true staying power.”

Created out of soft leather, the Voyou’s silhouette is defined by a slouched V-shape, which has been complimented by a delectably soft fur trim around the opening. The bag features adjustable straps that have been engineered to be functional and stylish; the points of adjustment are embraced by the placement of sleek hardware, making the buckles equal parts chic and useful.

The hobo-style bag comes in a range of sizes including small, medium, and large; the piece works as an effortless accessory, transitioning from a daytime tote to late-night dance floor accompaniment. Whether you opt for a baby pink leather or a denim-constructed model, the Voyou is this fall’s must-have accessory.
