Sixteen Sisters

Sixteen Sisters is a hand painted leather & vegan leather business. All my original artwork is inspired by bold, empowered, creative & intelligent women.

I’ve been creating one of a kind, unique wearable art since 2016. SIXTEEN SISTERS is a hand painted handbag and accessory shop that unites my favorite things~ art, friendships and nature

My canvases are unique handbags and accessories, some vintage, some vegan

The original designs are created by fusing a friendship with a beautiful form of nature; by uniting them together I'm able to paint perso

nalities into all of my products
Each bag is then named after my heroes, such as ELLA, making these handbags so much more than a purse, by preserving their story and creating wearable art
Only the highest quality leather or vegan leather products are selected making these handbags an option for your everyday handbag

I use Angelus leather paints and apply a waterproofing spray prior to shipping
Sixteen Sisters bags have traveled internationally and still look new! Thanks for shopping my site❤︎

All items are crafted in my Englewood, New Jersey studio

My Creative Inspirations❤️ With today being the last day of March and the end of Women’s History Month, today’s post is focused on my custom orders. 🙏🏻For me, there is nothing more honorable in my art, than a custom order. Having a client trust you to create their vision is an extraordinary process; with this comes probably my favorite creations, as when my customer sees the end result, they are always satisfied, knowing all the details & items that are important to them are present. To all my lovely custom clients~ Thank You for allowing me to give you that special one of a kind, wearable art piece! See more custom pieces on my website: sixteensisters.com❤️
