ART & SOUL: Hamptons, a Summer Festival of Arts & Culture Returns for it’s 3rd Year, in Partnership with the SOUTHAMPTON AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM and the SOUTHAMPTON ARTS CENTER

Southampton, New York Jun 11, 2024 (Issuewire.com) – Join us July 19 & 20, 2024 at ART & SOUL: Hamptons for a weekend filled with art and cultural experiences, celebrating influential and emerging BIPOC artists living in the Hamptons community and beyond. The series of experimental events will encourage people to visit Southampton to engage and connect with artists of color, as well as support art and cultural organizations who are passionate about diversity in the arts. Curated experiences include an art walk, culinary experience, film screening, live music and entertainment, a cocktail party, and more.

ART & SOUL: Hamptons will kick off on July 19th at the Southampton Arts Center — a hub that is helping to strengthen arts and culture for the entire community. Featured artists include Art Sims and Reynoir Lewis. A culinary tasting will be presented by the Black Culinary Expo featuring Chef Sandy Pierre, Chef Osei Blackett, and Chef Ronica Copes. New England Sweetwater will host a sipping experience and educate guests about their spirits and cocktails, handcrafted in New Hampshire at their family-owned distillery. To enhance the Hamptons experience, there will be champagne toasts, live music, beauty and lifestyle activations, and a wellness lounge. The evening will end with ‘Art After Dark’, after party hosted in the sculpture garden.

On July 20th, Jeremy Dennis will host a private guided museum tour of Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio where guests will learn about the history, culture, and contributions by the Native American Shinnecock Tribe. Following the art tour, visitors are encouraged to participate in the ‘Art Walk’ happening in Southampton – the art hub of the Hamptons, where they can view artwork by the artists in residency.

The first stop will be at the Southampton African American Museum (SAAM), founded by Brenda Simmons. “I’m proud to say this is SAAM’s 3rd year partnering with ART & SOUL: Hamptons. They have been profoundly instrumental in inviting, enlightening, and engaging visitors from near and far to the Hamptons, who are discovering the rich history of art and culture contributed by the BIPOC community”, says Simmons. Artist Alvin Clayton’s latest art collection premieres at SAAM on July 20th.

The second stop will be at the Southampton Arts Center, featuring artwork by various artists participating in the ‘Beyond The Streets: Post Graffiti’ art exhibition. Southampton Art Center’s mission is building community through the Arts, and we are delighted to once again collaborate with ART & SOUL: Hamptons and our neighbors at SAAM and Ma’s House to welcome all to the center and engage with us!” says Strassfield.

The third and final stop of the art walk will be at Hidden Gem NY, a home decor and lifestyle boutique owned by sisters Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock-Morsch. After visiting the vibrant art organizations in Southampton, a private brunch will be co-hosted by Brown Skin Brunchin’.

The festival wraps up with an opening reception to celebrate artist Alvin Clayton‘s residency at the Southampton African American Museum, which is available for viewing through October 2024. Guests will enjoy an interactive digital experience, live music and entertainment, soul food and Caribbean bites, and Caribbean-inspired cocktails sponsored by New England Sweetwater. A screening of ‘CROWN’, a short film that celebrates Black hair, will be presented by co-writer/co-director Karisma Jay.

The Bougees Expands Premium Leather Collection with Focus on Handcrafted Quality and Modern Design

Published

on

The Bougees has expanded its premium leather apparel collection with a renewed focus on handcrafted quality, authentic materials, and modern design aesthetics. The update includes refined leather pants, shirts, jackets, and outerwear crafted from 100% genuine sheep or lamb leather, addressing growing consumer demand for durable, versatile wardrobe pieces that transition seamlessly across casual and professional settings.

Queens, NY, United States, 5th Feb 2026 – The Bougees announces an updated leather apparel range featuring 100% genuine sheep and lamb leather, handcrafted construction, and contemporary silhouettes designed for versatile, long-term wear.

Commitment to Authentic Materials and Craftsmanship

The collection emphasizes material transparency and construction quality. Each piece uses 100% genuine sheep or lamb leather, selected for its refined drape, lighter weight, and natural movement compared to heavier hides. This material choice supports both comfort and durability, allowing garments to develop character over time while maintaining their structural integrity.

Handcrafted construction remains central to The Bougees’ production approach. Clean seams, reinforced stitching, and carefully placed panels ensure garments maintain tailored profiles and integrate smoothly with existing wardrobe staples. The brand blends traditional leather-working techniques with contemporary silhouettes, including biker-inspired elements that add edge without overwhelming modern aesthetics.

“Our goal is to provide customers with leather apparel that elevates everyday outfits through superior materials and thoughtful construction,” said a company representative. “We’re focused on pieces that work across multiple occasions and deliver long-term value.”

Modern Design for Versatile Wardrobes

The updated collection addresses practical styling needs while maintaining premium finishes. Key pieces include the 501 Style Leather Pant, designed with a streamlined silhouette that pairs with both fitted and relaxed tops, and the Carissa Women’s Black Belted 3/4 Long Leather Coat, which adds structure and definition when layered over leather separates or other garments.

Design principles emphasize balance, proportion, and color coordination. The collection features classic black options alongside neutrals such as brown, tan, and deep charcoal, allowing for monochrome looks or controlled contrast. Finishes range from matte to subtle sheen, providing options for different settings and personal preferences.

The brand’s approach prioritizes fit and mobility. Leather pants feature appropriate rise and leg room to ensure comfortable movement, while shirts are constructed with attention to shoulder alignment and sleeve length. This focus on proper fit addresses common concerns about leather apparel comfort and wearability.

Expanding Product Range and Customer Support

The Bougees currently offers Men’s Leather Jackets, Men’s Leather Pants, Women’s Leather Shirts and Jackets, Women’s Leather Trousers, and Leather Chaps. This comprehensive range allows customers to build coordinated outfits with consistent quality standards and complementary design elements.

The brand provides detailed product information to address authenticity concerns and sizing questions, recognizing that informed purchasing decisions lead to greater customer satisfaction and garment longevity. Care guidelines accompany each piece, covering proper storage, cleaning, and conditioning to maintain leather’s appearance and performance over time.

Brand Philosophy: Redefining Fashion Excellence

The Bougees positions itself around the concept of “Redefining Fashion Excellence” through a combination of premium materials, skilled craftsmanship, and timeless design. The brand aims to offer leather apparel that looks elevated with minimal styling while developing unique character through regular wear.

This philosophy extends to construction durability and aesthetic longevity. Rather than following seasonal trends, The Bougees focuses on silhouettes and finishes that remain current across multiple years, supporting sustainable wardrobe building and reducing the need for frequent replacement.

Availability and Purchase Information

The expanded collection is available now at thebougees.com. Customers can explore the full range of leather pants, shirts, jackets, and outerwear, with detailed sizing information and material specifications provided for each item.

For buyers seeking premium leather apparel for modern wardrobes and long-term wear, The Bougees offers handcrafted pieces that balance traditional quality with contemporary styling. The collection supports versatile outfit-building for casual, professional, and evening occasions.
