One of life’s most simple pleasures – getting caught in the rain – can easily turn into one of life’s little moments of outrage – when your umbrella gets blown inside out, your shoes leak and you’ve left your windbreaker at home. I do love seeing a collection of mangled Prada brollies in the trash after a wild and woolly morning, just as long as one of them didn’t belong to me.
Say hello to Wet & Wendy, a lovely collection of seasonal accessories made with one climate in mind – ours. Their umbrellas, available in folding or long, come with a double layered options to keep the water well away. Thoughtful extras are also part of the deal; the folding brolly has a waterproof pouch so that it can dry in your bag and the longer kind has a smart - dare we say gentlemanly - wooden handle. Now to the coats! Wet & Wendy rain and cape coats are long and lined with hidden sleeves, dipped backs, big hoods and narrower waists for a more flattering silhouette. Boys will have to drip dry for the moment as they are currently only for the ladies, but men's styles are most certainly on the way. Keep an eye on their Facebook page for updates! While it would take a 45 degree day for us to really love the rain right now, we do love anything that keeps it off us.
Thanks to Wet & Wendy we have one long handle, blue/grey umbrella to give away. To enter, just answer the following question...
