Meet Nneka Hurley. This 28 year old graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and recent student at the Fashion Institute of Technology is already making moves in the fashion industry. Originally from Petersburg, Va, currently residing in New Jersey, she started ‘Nneka Hurley Handbags‘ in 2005. Currently Nneka creates limited numbers of each design, allowing customers to rock one-of-a-kind looks.
Her hand-made clutches and handbags are very popular among celebrities. People from Eve to Keyshia Cole have been seen rocking her original designs.
NNEKA ON HER INSPIRATION & HER HANDBAGS
I get my creative spirit and edge from my mother, we were always making things when I was a child. Funky prints and unique fabrics really inspire me. My handbags and clutches really speak to the trendsetting woman, the fashionista at heart!
Currently, I make everything by hand. Ultimately, I want my bags mass produced and available in boutiques and major department stores across the country.
CELEBS WITH THEIR NNEKA HURLEY HANDBAGS
Celebrities like Eve, Keyshia Cole, Vivica A. Fox, and Bre (America’s Next Top Model) have been seen with her bags and clutches.
Nneka’s handbags and clutches offer the perfect balance between fashion and function.

GO BUY A HANDBAG!
HER CLUTCHES ARE OFF THE CHAIN….YOU GIRL GIRL. I MIGHT HAVE TO HIT HER UP BECAUSE I LOVE PURSES. I WONDER IF SHE COME TO DC….
Nice to see us Africans doing the damn thing. Keep up the good work.
Those bags are hot!
#77 I think she had a launch in DC a couple of weeks back…think she has another one in Philly coming up…Keep up the good work Nneka!!!!
I’m not feeling any of them bags. I wish her much success though. Keep doing your thing ma
I currently own a clutch and a handbag, made by Ms.Nneka. I get great compliments on both bags. I can’t wait to see the new line……The fall line is absolutley wonderful. Great job Nneka……It won’t be long before I see The Nneka Hurley line in major department stores!!
Those bags are just tacky – bold pattern, too much gold and colorful design tend to not look tasteful — designers assume black Americans and Africans prefer this style – but not everyone does. When I noticed her first name is Nigerian too, I thought cool, then I saw those bags and was let down. Well, to each its own.
if anyone knows how do I order one of these bags please let me know, I am in Richmond VA about 30 miles north of Petersburg VA. I really want to support her.
@ 84. At the end of the post I link her email as well as her myspace link. You can contact Nneka via those sources.
Go Girl! Representing for VCU!!! and VA!! We on the map!
These are so rockin bags and VERY AFFORDABLE. I’m on list for Saran bag…can’t wait for it to arrive. Do your thang sista.
