Welcome ! Kisanii means creative in the Swahili language ,but my given name is Liz Thomas Greene. I’m an artist and maker with roots in Philadelphia, where my love for creativity first began. After graduating from Boston University, and raising my four lovely children, I spent years as a professional musician ,an experience that still shapes the rhythm and flow of everything I create today.

If you’re here, you’re probably drawn to bold texture, and something a little different-that’s what inspires me too! Through Kisanii Liz Handbags, (and quilts), I bring together my passion for African fabrics and sustainable cork to create quilt art and handcrafted handbags that tell a story.

Every piece I make is designed with intention-blending artistry, tradition and a modern perspective. I invite you to explore, connect and hopefully find something that speaks to you!!!
