NASSAU, BAHAMAS – At the heart of Bahama Hand Prints is the Printing and Art Department, where veteran creative Leslie Williams brings uniquely Bahamian symbols to life, from sketchpad to fabric.

Born and raised in the capital, Williams calls himself an “island boy” and a true patriot. For him, every design is an expression of national pride.

Then there’s Operations Manager Megan Knowles, whose roots trace back to Long Island. She says growing up there gave her a strong sense of family, something she brings to work each day.

With a mission to strengthen cultural identity through boldly Bahamian prints, Knowles believes Bahama Hand Prints is more than just a brand, it’s a movement. With over 100 designs already in their collection, she says the future is just as vibrant as the prints themselves.
