Wearable Waves Commissions

Completely unique, hand-painted denim & footwear by Gemma Lessinger.

Back of a person wearing a denim jacket with a large painted beach scene on the back.

“For me, denim and footwear hold the same storytelling power as my canvases. They’re lived-in, carried with you, and infused with memory. By painting them, I bring the same textures, tones and ocean spirit I create in my fine art — only this time, you can wear them. These are not just customised items — they are signed, certified artworks, designed to be treasured.”

Carry the ocean with you, wherever you go. Each piece of denim or footwear is transformed into a one-of-a-kind artwork — ocean-inspired, and hand-painted in Cornwall.

Only 5 spots available in each category on this drop!

What’s Included

Each jacket, pair of jeans or footwear is hand-painted in Gemma’s signature shoreline or ocean style. She will contact you after ordering to discuss your desired composition.

Denim - Gemma encourages you to upcycle your own jeans or jacket to transform, but there is also the option for her to supply.

Footwear - The price for footwear does include Gemma buying the base shoe (which is either a Vans or Converse block).

These are 'Wearable’ Artwork so created using fabric paint, which can be machine washing at 30 degrees! Footwear is finished with a protective waterproofing spray so they’re ready to wear and enjoy.

Every piece is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity

Turnaround Time: Estimated 4 weeks from the date of order. I’ll keep you updated at key stages.

Limited slots only — once sold, no more will be released until the next drop.
