About RAINRAPS

Welcome to RAINRAPS — your destination for chic, high-performance women’s rainwear that’s as beautiful as it is functional. Our signature pieces like the RAINRAP wrap, RAINTRENCH coat, SPORTYRAP cape, and PUFFERRAP insulated wraps are all engineered to repel water, pack easily, and elevate your everyday rainy-day outfits. Founded when our co-founders realized the need for stylish, packable rainwear that fits into a busy life, RAINRAPS is about elegance without bulk, form without sacrificing function. Every piece is crafted from water-repellent, quick-dry fabrics and built for women who want to stay dry and stylish — whether you’re caught in a shower, commuting in the rain, or traveling abroad. RAINRAPS started as a simple idea on a rainy day. Stacy Struminger, a New Yorker transplanted to Richmond, VA, had long seen the need for a more stylish, lightweight, water-repellent accessory in the often wet and humid Richmond climate. In the spring of 2011, a weeklong rainstorm left Stacy frustrated by the lack of a fashionable, waterproof garment in her wardrobe. Searching her coat closet in vain, Stacy had the inspiration for a water-repellent wrap that was not only utilitarian but also stylish. Sharing her idea with her best friend, Rachel Teyssier, they decided together to make the vision a reality. Hence, a revolution in the development of fashionable water-repellent outerwear began, and RAINRAPS was developed. Read their story
