TIMABEE

From highly textured leather to luxe hardware, every design component is twined with high attention to detail through excellent craftsmanship while maintaining a signature aesthetic.

I’m not sure if this signature aesthetic is noticeable (i.e. cohesive) to be honest, but I’ve got to say I appreciate the variation. Her bags (especially the blue bags below) are truly stunning pieces – definitely a must-have!

MUJI LAGOS

Muji bags are handmade in Nigeria from locally sourced leather.  I think, at least for now, this is the only silhouette sold by the brand – but isn’t it so amazing? That burgundy bag with the cowrie detail – *drool emoji*

FEMI HANDBAGS

“Fun. Colourful. Eclectic.”

‘Where the bold and adventurous meet sophisticated elegance’

According to their website, these are the trademarks of FemiHandbags. Their bags should actually be put next to the definition of ‘colour blocking’ – if there is one – in the dictionary. I am obsessed with these tote bags though, perfect for any job with a soul sucking colour palette.
