Wearable Waves:
Hand-Painted Denim & Footwear
Completely unique, hand-painted denim & footwear by Gemma Lessinger.
“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, so the price includes a postage label for you to send your garment to Gemma’s studio. Price does not include Gemma purchasing the garment for you, as everyone has such different requirements on fit, sizing etc. However, she can guide you to best brands or second hand/vintage sites if you need some advice.
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 4–6 weeks from the date your item arrives in my studio. I’ll keep you updated at key stages.
