Our Story
About your Diamond:
“A KEHINDE handbag is more than an accessory—it is faith you can carry in the form of a luxury crochet bag.
Each KEHINDE is uniquely handcrafted, a one-of-a-kind work of fabric art—no two bags are ever the same. Every stitch is intricately crocheted with expertise, intention, and you—the wearer—in mind.
Adorned with a gold insignia engraved “handmade”, every bag embodies authenticity. The interior is lined with a deep wine red, symbolizing the fire of bold, passionate faith, while the design remains versatile for modern, effortless wear.
Our faith-driven identity speaks through each collection’s name and exquisite design. Every KEHINDE is distinguished by our signature diamond crochet stitch, because every bag is created for the diamond that you are. To us, our supporters are not just customers—they are prized jewels, the very diamonds of KEHINDE.
To own a KEHINDE is to embrace your strength. Like diamonds, you are unshakable, enduring, and radiant.
This is not just a bag.
It is faith you can carry.”
Our Philosophy:
“The foundation of KEHINDE is built on faith, supported by three essential ingredients: Believe, Consistency, and Patience—our B.C.P. rule. We know that without these steps, faith cannot thrive. With faith, anything is possible. With faith comes hope. Choose faith over fear. Take your leap of faith."
Our Mission:
“At KEHINDE, our mission is to bring crocheting into the corporate world, creating opportunities for fabric artists to earn living wages doing what they love. Crocheting is a timeless, irreplaceable skill, one that no machine can replicate. We envision a world where crocheting is recognized as a viable career, not just a hobby—a world where artisans can thrive, grow, and build sustainable futures through their craft."
Our Founder & CEO:
“KEHINDE was founded by Kehinde Adebimpe, who began crocheting in 2016 as a hobby. Her very first piece—a pink mermaid tail blanket—was learned entirely through YouTube. Self-taught and driven by faith, Kehinde discovered the joy and transformative power of crochet, realizing she could use her talents to make a meaningful impact in the world.
Luxury handbags were never part of the original plan. The idea came during a period of uncertainty—after graduating college with no job prospects and feeling completely lost and alone. It was in that challenging season that Kehinde recognized her calling: creating something beautiful, purposeful, and entirely her own.
Through crochet, Kehinde not only found joy and purpose, but also noticed a lack of racial diversity in the designer handbag industry. Determined to change that, she set out to create her own seat at the table—designing luxury crochet handbags that celebrate individuality, artistry, and empowerment."
