Rains (brand)

Rains is a Danish outerwear brand headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark.[1][2] The brand was founded by Philip Lotko and Daniel Brix in 2012 and its CEO is Steen Borgholm.[3][4][2] Rains integrates conceptual design with functional waterproofing and a minimalist, neo-Scandinavian aesthetic, making unisex streetwear fashion pieces from traditional wet-weather gear.[5]

The company’s main products are raincoats, minimalist trench coats, and technical puffer jackets made from a lightweight polyurethane (PU) fabric.[6] Rains also produces water-resistant commuter gear including rolltop rucksacks, laptop sleeves, travel duffels, rain boots, waterproof hats, and travel accessories.

The brand collaborated with Umbro in 2025.[7]

Its first retail store in Asia opened in Shanghai in HKRI Taikoo Hui in 2026.[8][9]
