Hand Painted “Marla” Jacket
Painted in My Somerset Art Studio
This lovely jacket — a pre-loved piece in UK size 12 — has been lovingly transformed into something truly special. On a beautiful brown (with a hint of green) background you’ll find a beautifully rendered portrait of a Jersey Cow (affectionately named "Marla") painted by hand in my Somerset studio.
The result is a striking and unique piece that blends rustic charm with contemporary style — perfect as a fashion statement, a conversation piece, or a thoughtful, meaningful gift for yourself or a friend.
The perfect gift or unique statement piece:This jacket isn’t just clothing — it’s a conversation starter, a distinctive expression of style, and a wearable artwork. It makes a standout gift for anyone who loves unique fashion, animals, countryside charm — or wants something different, sustainable, and made with heart.
The Jersey cow portrait is painted freehand, making this jacket a wearable art piece rather than mass-produced clothing. Sustainable & up-cycled: by giving new life to a pre-loved jacket, this piece embraces slow fashion and reduces waste.
Versatile style: with it's length reaching your hip, this lovely cool-brown colour makes this jacket easy to pair with dark jeans, skirts, dresses — whether for a country show, festival, or just a day out.

Care instructions to keep your painted design vibrant and intact for as long as possible:
Spot-clean stains when possible; or hand-wash gently in cool water.
If machine washing is needed, use a gentle cycle on low temperature and low spin. Repeat washing in a machine may eventually cause the design to crack or flake — a natural risk with painted garments.
Avoid high heat, tumble drying, or harsh detergents.
Treat the jacket with care: painted garments are wearable art — like a canvas — not fast fashion.
