Gabriela Hearst

Women's White Adam Pendleton X Nina Bag

Gabriela Hearst and Artist Adam Pendleton released a series of 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 Ellen Gallagher, Rashid Johnson, and Julie Mehretu, purchased Nina Simone’s childhood home to preserve the musician’s legacy. Net sales proceeds of the limited-edition bag will benefit the Nina Simone Childhood Home, preserved by the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Curated and published by Sharon Coplan, the project positions Pendleton’s iconic visual language in direct dialogue with one of contemporary fashion’s most recognizable silhouettes, reimagining the bag as an art object and a site for painterly intervention. Pendleton treats each bag as a portable canvas, resulting in a quietly radical work. With a reputation for craftsmanship, sustainability, and deeply considered design, Gabriela Hearst brings a legacy of intention to the project, making her the natural partner for this edition. Individually signed and numbered bags will be available for purchase exclusively at our flagship stores.
