The Painter's Wife | Sarah Raincoat - made from Recycled Ocean Plastic
Rainy days, but make them worth going out for.
Grey skies don’t have to mean cancelled adventures. The Sarah Raincoat is made for dogs who still expect their walk when the heavens open, keeping their body covered while leaving them free to sniff, wander and investigate as usual. Designed in Spain by The Painter’s Wife and inspired by the traditional fishermen’s raincoats of the Spanish Atlantic coast, it brings a little coastal character to the very British problem of soggy dog walks.
Even better? Part of its fabric gives discarded materials a second life, using recycled polyester obtained from ocean plastic, fishing nets and textile fibre waste.

❓ FAQs
Q: What is it made from?
A: The Sarah is made from a quick-drying waterproof fabric consisting of 87% PVC and 13% recycled polyester obtained from ocean plastic, fishing nets and textile fibre waste.
Q: How do I choose the right size?
A: Measure your dog from the base of their neck to the base of their tail, then around the widest part of their tummy, usually just behind the back legs. Sizes run from 25cm/10” to 55cm/22”. If your dog falls between two sizes, we’d suggest sizing up.
Q: Can I use it with a harness?
A: Yes, but there’s no dedicated harness opening in the coat. The raincoat is designed to go on first, with your dog’s harness worn over the top. Collars can be worn as usual thanks to the generously cut neck.
Q: How do I care for it?
A: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C. Don’t use bleach or tumble dry; simply leave it to air dry.

A: The Sarah comes in seven sizes:
25cm / 10” — 38–46cm tummy — Toy Poodle
30cm / 12” — 42–50cm tummy — Yorkshire Terrier
