Rains

Rains was founded in Denmark in 2012 by Daniel Brix and Philip Lotko, two design school graduates who decided to embrace the rain rather than hide from it. Their first product was a simple waterproof poncho, and the brand has since grown into a full outerwear and accessories label grounded in Scandinavian minimalism and functional design. Every piece blends a clean, urban aesthetic with weather-ready performance, from their signature rain jackets to backpacks and weekend bags. At Wally, we carry a strong range of Rains jackets, bags, and accessories for anyone who wants to look good regardless of what the weather does. Shop Rains NZ in store at our Takapuna boutique or online with free delivery over $80.

The Rains range at Wally

Most of our Rains wall is bags. The Backpack and Backpack Mini are the commuter picks, with room for a laptop and cut clean enough for the office. Totes come full size and mini. The Hilo Weekend Bag is our best seller of the lot - three sizes, with the Otaru and Valera weekenders sitting alongside. There's wash bags in four shapes too, and a small run of jackets each winter.

Why people buy Rains

The fabric. Rains developed a matte PU material that's waterproof, wipes clean and doesn't look like outdoor gear. It handles an Auckland winter without you having to think about it.

Rains FAQ

Is Wally an authorised Rains stockist in New Zealand?
Yes. Our Rains stock comes through the brand's official NZ distribution each season.

Are Rains bags waterproof?
The fabric is waterproof PU. Don't dunk them in the harbour, but rain on the walk to work is what they're built for.

Which Hilo Weekend Bag size do I need?
The standard fits 1-2 nights of gear. Go the Large for a long weekend or if you pack heavy. The Small works as a big day bag. Dimensions are on each product page.

What is Rains known for?
Rains is a Danish brand established in 2012, known for a neo-Scandinavian take on the classic rubber raincoat. Its bags and outerwear are recognised for a matte waterproof PU-coated fabric and clean, minimal urban design.

What makes Rains different?
Rains chose PU-coating as its signature material because it is significantly more environmentally friendly than alternatives like PVC. The Backpack is cut from that same signature fabric, engineered for carrying strength, durability and a smooth feel.
