optimized for urban riders.
Creative Direction, Product & Pattern Design.
In 2016 I had the pleasure of launching a product that I conceived and designed. The project arose from a desire to give something back to the city of Amsterdam that completely fit the attitude of its residents. Raynsie was the result, a coverall for cyclists that is waterproof, windproof, breathable, packable and reflective.
RAYNSIE wearers are out and about getting on with their busy lives. The product was developed with this in mind.
It had to be light, easy to throw in the bottom of a bag, as breathable as possible and easily pulled on over whatever you are wearing, so there's no need to compromise an outfit.

The final product combines the high technical quality needed for outdoor clothing with an Amsterdam streetwear attitude.

The patterns included an inside joke for the Dutch about the weird snacks they eat to keep up all their activity. The pattern is named ‘Hagelslag’ after the brightly coloured sugar sprinkles the Dutch eat for breakfast on buttered bread. ‘Dip’ is a reference to their love of condiments, particularly on ‘friets’. These are reflected in the lookbook imagery.
