When we brought Plueys to Manila, it became our goal to become Manila’s go-to resource for fashionable and functional wet-weather wear.

This year, we are definitely taking a big step towards that direction Just this September, 2009, we launched ReadyForRain.com–the Philippines’ first one-stop rain shop! We scour the globe for the most innovative rain products and aim to deliver it to your doorstep within 2 days!

Click on the image above to be redirected to our exciting new e-commerce site! Our company is dedicated to making your online purchase for rain gear fun, convenient and satisfying!

Visit ReadyForRain.com to see our selection of rain-related products: rain boots, rain skimmers, umbrellas, and FINALLY something for the men in our lives, GALOSHES! We always get asked when we’ll have a Plueys men’s line, and now we have 4 models of galoshes guys can choose from.

These overshoes are made by Tingley, a reputable brand that’s been around for more than 100 years! 100% waterproof rubber galoshes fit over every shoe style and size. These are made of lightweight, high-stretch for easy on and off, tear-resistant natural rubber

Men’s Executive, Php1,750 at ReadyForRain.com | sturdy zipper boot-type galoshes keep rain or snow out, high enough to tuck pants in!

Men’s Commuter, Php999 at ReadyForRain.com | low-cut design shows off your shoes while it protects from puddles, light rain, and day-after snowfall

hello, how have you been lately?

we’ve certainly been busy spreading the word about our advocacy: my+brolly umbrellas for the wheelmobile project.

my+brolly is our brand of limited-edition umbrellas. There are only 25 pieces per design, all of them individually hand-painted works of art.

Part of the proceeds from every sale of my+brolly umbrellas goes to funding the Philippines’ fifth wheelmobile so that people using wheelchairs may have the mobility that most of us enjoy.

Why should you buy a my+brolly umbrella?
1. It’s a work of art! It’s handpainted meaning it takes one day to make one umbrella, definitely a labor of love! No shortcuts there.
2. It’s limited! Only 24 other people will have the same umbrella in the entire Manila.
3. 450php of your purchase goes to the Wheelmobile project.

thanks to our friends from the Philippine Daily Inquirer and 10.0 Magazine for making these happen, especially Stef Cabal and Aileen Coyukiat

Special thanks to Carl Ng for the great writeup and Jervy Santiago for the photos
