AKULA

Wearable Art Jacket — Akula X Nina Minke Art

Hand-painted by artist Nina Minke and hand-embellished by Akula, this collaboration transforms a classic denim jacket into a piece of collectible wearable art.

The painted artwork forms the narrative foundation, while intricate bead and metal charm details — sourced from thrifted, disassembled jewellery remnants — bring texture and depth.

Every detail is placed with intention, turning a timeless garment into a one-off creation that blurs the line between sustainable fashion and art.

Crafted in Cape Town by two female artists, this jacket carries both story and soul — made for those who value individuality, and conscious design.
