The Fabric Explained
Their pieces are waterproof, windproof with a breathable coating. Their premium innovative durable materials have a special membrane with a watercolumn of 10k and a breathability of 5,000 gr/m2. On the outside of the material, they apply a special DWR treatment, so the first raindrops will roll off the fabric. Their detailed designs have many cutlines and seams, but each of the single line and seam is taped. This is done with utmost care with specialized machines. This true for even their woollen looking coats.
The Rainmaker
Rain Couture came to be when Daphne Gerritse, working mother of two who often commutes by bicycle, found it impossible to find a coat that wasn’t too hot, too cold, too wet or too ugly when confronted with the unexpected elements of nature. Her idea: An all-in-one fashion solution that could work for all occasions, all weathers, all seasons, all styles for all time. It was an ambitious challenge, but one that Daphne took on with full energy and spirit.
It took five years to get the product right. Despite multiple trials and errors, Daphne held steadfast to her vision. After all, she wanted women to feel confident, sophisticated and protected while they rushed around living their busy lives. Her determination paid off in a wardrobe essential that no woman should go without.
To really understand their detailed styles and designs, take a closer look at this inner jacket and see how it can be worn in a multifunctional manner. It comes with detachable sleeves and can be buttons to the weatherproof trench as an inside layer. Really it is one coat that serves all!
