About Bespoke Hand-Painting on Personal Items
Why I Do This
Give me a brush and I’m in my happy place. I love taking something you use every day - maybe your favorite bag, your sneakers, a little box - and turning it into a story only you could tell. It’s not just painting, honestly. It feels like adding a bit of joy and memory to your world.
What I Paint On
- Luxury handbags? Yup, I’ve done LV, Gucci, Goyard and more.
- Wallets, card holders, passport covers - tiny, detailed stuff is my jam
- Sneakers are a big love, especially custom painted luxury bags and personalized sneaker art (Nike, Converse, whatever you wear)
- Even things like lighters, jewelry boxes, or your PS5 controller - I’ve painted them all
What Goes On It
- Anime hand painting on wallets (Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, you name it)
- Pet portrait accessories - your dog’s goofy face on your purse? Done.
- Art history with a twist (like The Great Wave on a duffle)
- Anything quirky - fried egg pouch, initials, random ideas
How I Work
Every single thing is hand-painted by me. It takes patience (especially those tiny faces) and a steady hand. I only use high quality paints, like Angelus for leather and sneakers, so the art holds up. I’ll suggest faux leather if it suits the piece.
I see every item as a little collaboration - part you, part me, and something totally unique. Sometimes it’s a challenge, but honestly, that’s the fun.

My Story
I’m Sanaya. Artist, poet, sometimes a bit quiet, but my work does the talking. My book ‘Blessed with a Broken Heart’—that’s me, raw and real, sharing stuff I used to hide. I’m not the most social butterfly, but life keeps putting me in wild places, like painting live for brands. Four hours straight, just me and the canvas—oddly, I love it. If my art or words make you feel seen, that’s everything.
My Work
Custom Art & Personalisation - I paint on anything—hand-painted luxury bags, Nikes, PS5s, pet portraits on LV holders. You dream it, I paint it.
Canvas Paintings - Commissioned oil paintings, big or small. My ‘Beauty in the mundane’ collection finds magic in everyday mess.
Live Event Illustrations - I create live art at events for brands, sketching moments guests can take home. It’s fun, intense, and always rewarding.
