Artist Adam Pendleton and designer Gabriela Hearst release 25 limited-edition Nina bags that collapse the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and design. Each bag is hand-painted, signed, and entirely unique.
Legendary musician and activist Nina Simone is a touchstone for both Hearst and Pendleton. Gabriela Hearst’s original Nina bag, named in tribute to Nina Simone, has become a defining silhouette in contemporary fashion. In 2017, Pendleton, along with fellow artists, purchased Nina Simone’s childhood home to preserve the musician’s legacy.
Curated and published by Sharon Coplan, net sales proceeds from the collaboration will benefit the Nina Simone Childhood Home.
