For designer Travis Terry, fashion is a family affair.



The budding entrepreneur is making his mark in the accessories world with a very important lady by his side: his mom, Laverne Terry.



The 61-year-old has been making waves as the face of her son's brand, IEMBE, and she's gained quite a following for her fierce modeling skills.

It all started when Travis, 23, was a student at Clark Atlanta University. As he was getting ready to embark on a spring break trip, the business major realized he didn’t have a bag to bring, but he did have a refund check from his student loans and an idea.



"(Suddenly, I thought), 'I’m starting my own business, and I’m trying to create bags,'" he told NBC News’ Morgan Radford.



Travis worked at a local deli to save up the funds to fuel his dream and his business started gaining traction once he started designing and manufacturing his own bags.



Soon enough, IEMBE was born. The name was inspired by the phrase "in my bag."
