The rainy season has started more than ever. Some of us might live in places where there is rain throughout the year, some experience it mostly during summer and others associate rainfall with autumn. Wherever you live, don’t let the rain stop you from spending time outdoors, in the city or the countryside. For those who are a little bit patient, a good raincoat can easily be found on second hand. On an online platform, you can search for items and probably spend half the amount of money but for the same quality. Check out our Scandinavian Store Guide for local shops and online destinations! But for those of you who are tired of searching or don’t have a raincoat and need it to know, you can check out these four ethical brands. The prices reflects the quality, so if we want to buy something new, it is truly a life-longterm investment.
