#NYFW sisSTAR NYFW 2019 Feature: Sanian Lewis, Creator of Sanianitos

Meet our sisSTAR NYFW 2019 feature, Sanian Lewis, whose beautiful jewelry collection is deeply connected to her Trinbagonian roots.  Check out our Q & A with Sanian and shop her wonderful works at various stores in NYC, London, and Trinidad & Tobago.

Introduce yourself and your brand

My name is Sanian Lewis, I’m the Style Director of Sanianitos Fashion and Lifestyle Ltd. Sanianitos is a lifestyle brand (currently focused on accessories) that was conceptualized to reflect the essence of the Caribbean, through the Trinbagonian aesthetic. So our pieces are bold, unique and unforgettable, much like those who choose our selections. 

Tell us about your current collection and what inspired it?

Our current collection is a re-introduction into the world of metal work, we’ve focused on our hand painted and embellished sunglasses, hand sewn embroidered earrings and brooches, even customized and ornate flowered crowns for the past 4 years and so it is a very exciting time for us to get back to the origins of the brand, which began with wired jewelry centered on enhancing the divine aspects of the wearer. 

How do you overcome creative and business obstacles?

One step at a time, with the guidance of our Chairman, trusting the process, and with a group of entrepreneurial women I’ve come to identify as my soul sisters. There’s a lot of trust in the higher forces that are at play as I’ve come to realize that an obstacle is simply an indication of one stepping into a new level of evolution, thus when obstacles arise I’ve found myself able to navigate through, though with some obstacles the navigation has to be conscious and intentional. 

What motto do you live by?

Ever since I was younger my father had my brother and I repeat like a mantra, everyday in every way, I’m getting better and better...I’ve kept that as a mantra throughout my life. More recently and particularly this year it’s been: Go with the flow. 

Where do you see your brand in the next 1-5 years?

In the next 5 years I see the brand expanding to include customizable elements to our sunglasses selections with in-house frame selections, patterned templates and even embellishments. As well as getting into the full range of accessories, specifically bags, hats and hopefully a collaboration for footwear. Within the next 4 years I would like to see the brand we work with in New York (Jolie & Jade) have stores in at least 2/3 locations throughout the states/internationally, with our items available in all and a couple of capsule collection specialty items featured in a gallery (or two) in NY, London or Africa. Within the next 3 years I would like to see Sanianitos established throughout the Caribbean and NY as a go-to for statement accessories, a diffusion line of ‘mass’ versions of our signature pieces and the launch of a clothing aspect of the brand. Within the next 2 years we see the brand refining and defining its team, and its aspects, as well as establishing itself as the official accessories house of Lost Tribe Carnival Band in Trinbago. We see a studio space based in Trinbago and a capsule collection of rings featured in a couple galleries in Trinbago. And within the next year we will be seeing the brand set the tone for all of these intentions. Stay tuned! 

Where can people purchase and support your brand?

Currently you can find our pieces in NY and online at Jolie & Jade (@jolieandjade), in Trinidad at 6 Carlos Woodbrook, Meiling’s Atelier (@meilinginc) and in London at ACE Hackney (a.c.ehackney). You can find us at @sanianitos on Instagram, our most active form of social media. Our website is going to be up and running in time for 2020 and items will be available at sanianitos.com
