“I hope this bag will be like Nina’s voice in your ear.” Artist Adam Pendleton and designer Gabriela Hearst have released 25 limited-edition Nina bags inspired by the legendary Nina Simone. Each bag is hand-painted, signed, entirely unique, and available only at The Salon at #SothebysNewYork. Nina Simone’s music and activism is a touchstone for both Hearst and Pendleton. Gabriela Hearst's original Nina bag, named in tribute to Simone, has become a defining silhouette in contemporary fashion. In 2017, Pendleton along with fellow artists Ellen Gallagher, Rashid Johnson, and Julie Mehretu, purchased Simone's childhood home to preserve the musician's legacy. The Nina bag is available to shop at The Salon at our new headquarters at The Breuer through 26 April. To enquire, click the link in bio.

“A 3 year process with the prophetic and uncompromising @pendleton.adam hand painting of 25 Nina Bags, 100% net sales proceeds going to the Nina Simone Childhood Home. This was a process of precision, generosity and the gift that keeps on giving, as a new friendship emerged from this collaboration. Thank you @pendleton.adam for your greatness and @sharoncoplan_ the fairy godmother of all artists. And to our eternal muse @ninasimone .” – GH “Using Gabriela’s Nina bag as a canvas to honor Nina Simone’s life and legacy made immediate sense to me. The contours of the bag are as iconic as Nina Simone’s voice and her artistic courage. I’m proud to make an object people can carry with them—one that reinforces the possibilities of art, life, and meaningful collaboration. Nina Simone refused to separate beauty from truth—that’s something I think about in my own work, and something this project with Gabriela aims to carry forward so Nina’s name and music will be known for generations to come.” – AP @pendleton.adam & @gabrielahearst present a limited-edition of 25 hand painted Nina bags that collapse the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and design.
