Lilith NYC

Lilith NYC is a global luxury footwear brand for women and femmes based in Queens, New York.

At Lilith NYC, we believe in empowering women and femmes to express their unique style, gender, and sexuality across a full spectrum of individuality. Our brand is a testament to this ethos, as we strive to push the boundaries of fashion and transcend conventional norms.

Lilith NYC is a love letter to Queens, to refugees, immigrants, the hustle.

Our namesake, Lilith 

According to Jewish and Mesopotamian folklore, Lilith was the first woman, preceding Eve, as the first wife of Adam. She was written out of history by male scholars because she chose not to be submissive to man, and subsequently was labeled a temptress or evil spirit. 

To us, Lilith is self-actualized, living her own truth and story.

Shoes on. Eyes open.

Our Founder

Sarah Sukumaran (she/her) was born and raised in Elmhurst, Queens, the daughter of Tamil refugees. She has been sneaker obsessed since she was young girl.

Sukumaran draws inspiration from the cultural richness of Queens, her ancestral roots in Nainativu | நயினாதீவு (island of serpents), tropical modernism, and the divine feminine.
