Armor Canvas Tote Bag by Kehinde Wiley

This limited edition tote bag features Kehinde Wiley’s 2019 painting Portrait of Nelly Moudime, an oval painting from a series featuring models in classical European armor. She is the subject of two other Kehinde Wiley paintings — one from a hip hop inspired photoshoot styled by design-duo Dee and Ricky (Portrait of Nelly Moudime II, 2020), as well as a group portrait from the same shoot (Portrait of Nelly Moudime and Najaee Hall, 2020). She appears in front of a fluorescent botanical background, inspired by a Russian, late 19th century velvet munisak.

Net proceeds from your purchase support the artist in residence program Black Rock Sénégal, founded by Wiley in 2019.
