What you'll do
Fashion and painting is the perfect marriage. Bring your favorite snack and join us at our popular studio in the Chelsea area of Manhattan to talk all things New York and fashion. We'll set up your palettes while you sip away. Once we hand out your bags and prepare your bag for painting, we’ll walk you through how to create the Empire State Building on your new favorite accessory. Sip, laugh, paint, and then walk out with a new and cool souvenir to take home and wear while you trek around the city. Snap photos and tag us as you tour New York so we can see where you're taking your new bag.

I am a Native New Yorker who loves to throw awesome events. I co-host this experience with my boyfriend Vasu, a new Dehli-ite, painting and learning the ins and outs of the NY garment district. He attended FIT—Fashion Institute of Technology—and has been a designer in the fashion industry for over a decade. Now we have our own studio and we are making art fun and funky.
Where you'll be
We’ll be at our beautiful and historic art studio in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. We’re close to the famous Flatiron Building, the glorious Garment District, and the fun Flower District.
Rated 5.0 out of 5 from 19 reviews.
Amazing experience. In this busy city, we had 2 hours of calm and enjoyed painting our bags. Vasu was very friendly and we got to share our experiences. We highly recommend that you meet him and enjoy a little bit of creativity and quietness in this mad city. Anne-Rose & Nelly

This was a step above many of the other sip ‘n’ paint experiences you might see offered mainly because of the Chelsea space, which was so unique and spacious, and also because of the host, as Vasu was an absolute delight! This was an outstanding experience and would highly recommend it to anyone, local and tourist!

I am so happy that I was able to seat in a gallery after a busy day painting a Tote bag. Vasu agreed to go for the Empire State Building and showed me step by step how to proceed. I really like the result that is going to be for a gift for a very special person. Very interesting experience like a positive therapy session.
