THE PAINTER’S WIFE
‘Our name is a homage to all the brilliant women behind talented artists. It is also our way to show our community how dogs are present in the everyday life of creative people.’

If Italian cashmere, Portuguese cotton, and merino wool sound like textiles you’d like to wrap yourself in, get ready to swoon over The Painter’s Wife dog duds. Founded by art historian Rosana A. Agrelo and her veterinarian husband, Josep Pintor, the winsome collection reflects their combined efforts, rendering a spotted coat inspired by John Baldessari, minimalist basics channeling Josef Albers, David Hockney-esque striped t-shirts, and more, in vet-approved materials and fits. The range is seasonless to help reduce consumption, and is ethically produced from high quality fabrics to increase each piece’s longevity. Green Paw, the brand’s latest initiative, testifies to their commitment to sustainability by using technology and raw materials that reduce their environmental impact.
Why we love The Painter’s Wife
In addition to caring for the planet, the Spanish brand actively works with Yaracan, a local organisation focused on dog-assisted therapy for children and the elderly. It’s likely The Painter’s Wife’s creative expression will first catch your eye, but their altruistic endeavours speak volumes, too.
‘Producing our articles in Italy means endowing the object’s core with all the cultural heritage, taste, beauty and lifestyle that our country represents in the world.’
‘This is what we really want to portray with our designs: urban culture meets Nordic wilderness. Aesthetically pleasing, yet functional and everlasting products.’
’Our name expresses how a dog should feel when living with our products—something light and non-rational’.
’In order to provide the best quality products for our customers, we aim to create simple and high-quality lasting designs to suggest a classy and sophisticated edge’.
’We try to pay attention to all surroundings in everyday life, not only to animal-related products, because inspiration can come out of nowhere’.
'I wanted to create more than just dog accessories; I wanted to curate a place where dog owners could come and find helpful tips on all aspects of owning a dog.'
‘It's really rewarding to see how pups are having a blast and enjoying themselves with our products, and how we got to contribute to those fun times.’
’I’ve developed this project out of love and compassion for all the noble and inspiring dogs and their caretakers.’
’We are very lucky to have built a loyal client base in a short period of time. It is so important to gain trust. After all, these are members of the family’.
’Each piece has been carefully crafted to provide a heavenly sleep for the dog, and to perfectly complement the interior of the owner’.
’Sir Dogwood came about because I was frustrated with the limited amount of sophisticated, well-designed and modern dog-wear available’.
