OUR COMMITMENTS
1. PROMOTE AND SIMPLIFY URBAN MOBILITY
We're delighted to see more and more cyclists in our cities!
But to ride well in town, it's best to be well equipped.
Rain, visibility, cold - these are just some of the issues we're fully committed to.
To make life easier for cyclists, we develop useful, solid and stylish accessories.
2. SUSTAINABLE & RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION
At Rainette, we are fully aware of the ecological issues involved in the production of our collections. That's why we leave nothing to chance when it comes to our products. We carefully source our materials and select them for their sturdiness.
We choose to work with specialist companies with expert know-how.
It's a matter of debate, but we'd rather choose an expert company further afield than a local company producing poor quality.
And when French companies are the best, of course we call on them!
3. TECHNICALITY, SAFETY AND VISIBILITY
At Rainette, we focus on technical materials. Our innovative models are tailor-made to meet our exacting specifications. We have a great sense of humor, but never joke about the safety of our cycling friends!
With our products, we want them to be able to ride dry, warm and in full view!
For the little
history ...
Rainette's story begins... on a rainy day!
In spring 2016, it rained 42 days: a record since 1960.
Bahar takes his daughter, Rose, to nursery by bike every morning, come rain or shine. Good for the planet, not so good for Rose, who hates her rain cape.
Unpleasant to put on, unpleasant to wear, rainy mornings often turn into drama.
And no product on the market ticks all the boxes.
The idea of designing the perfect children's cape came to Bahar.
Bicycle equipment? Nothing to do with his career in the audiovisual industry!
For the past 15 years, she's been plying her trade on TV sets and castings, but the desire to start a new, useful and creative project is calling her.
15 months of research, dozens of sleepless nights
and 25 prototypes later: the first Rainette product is born!
It's all about raincoat for child seat " :
- Lightweight and practical
- Easy to install
- Designed to appeal to the little ones: it has sleeves, so kids don't have their hands locked up like in a cape.
- Packed with clever details: carrying pouch, large helmet hood, reflective strips...
Since that first creation, the Rainette collection has gone from strength to strength, offering dozens of products for cyclists of all ages.
Useful, clever and stylish products to make your cycling trips easier and more fun!
