FemiHandbags is a fashionable line of luxury handbags, clutches, accessories, and other small leather products with an African influence.

The brand is created by a Nigerian self taught designer Femi Olayebi, a French graduate, translator and creative. Just after making a diaper bag for her first baby after learning how to sew. Femi Olayebi soon discovered that she was being asked to make diaper bags for friends and relatives. She then expanded on her "accidental entrepreneurship" in 1994 by founding a parent company My World of Bags, a multi-functional, ethnically-inspired, and vibrant brand of handbags manufactured from whatever she could get her hands on.
