Rain kit essentials for the stormy season

Hong Kong’s summer showers are frequent and unpredictable. Tired of showing up to work soaked from head to toe? Grab these waterproof accessories to stay dry and comfortable in any weather!

Purse Protector

We understand the fear of carrying an expensive handbag when caught in a downpour – it can leave water spots, harden the leather and fade the dye. But that shouldn’t keep you from bringing your favourite purse to work when rain is in the forecast. This handbag raincoat is designed with a Velcro closure to prevent leaks while allowing you to access the handles. It also comes in five different styles to suit different sizes and looks.

Go Green

Not only are single-use plastic umbrella covers wasteful, they also don’t do their job well, defeating the purpose of keeping your clothes and floors dry. This reusable umbrella bag, available in long and short versions, offers a simple solution without costing the environment. Its outer shell is made from a water-resistant fabric while the inside is lined with a high absorbent fibre, so you can slip your wet umbrella in without worrying about leakage.
