ABOUT US

Get to know more about what makes Missiris bags one of a kind.

Our Founder's story

Originally from Cameroon and having arrived in Quebec as a child more than twenty years ago, Aïsha Temfack grew up with the conviction that it was possible to build a different future. A graduate of HEC Montréal and a trained CPA, Aïsha first built a solid career in finance before bringing her entrepreneurial dream to life. But beyond numbers, she always nurtured her creativity: mother of two young girls, author of a published novel, and long recognized by her circle as a true fashionista. This passion for fashion, combined with her academic rigor and personal journey, led her to found Missiris: a handbag house that celebrates elegance, practicality, and accessibility, while carrying a strong message of inclusion and women’s empowerment.

The idea behind the brand

During her second pregnancy, a turning point emerged for Aïsha: carrying life awakened in her a deep desire to create a project with meaning and longevity. She then decided to give birth, at the same time as her child, to a handbag house that would embody her values and those of today’s women.

Observing the industry, she came to a clear conclusion: there was no offer that truly combined elegance, practicality, affordability, and durability. Luxury bags were often inaccessible or impractical, while affordable models lacked refinement and quality.
