The Terra New York rainwear may look like it was modeled after a few x-rayed jackets, but it is actually made up of smart and innovative outwear that is as stylish as it is practical. Created as a fashionable alternative to rainwear that relies more heavily on function than looks, modern women will be able to look good even in a downpour.
Founded by Yurika Nakazono and Marie Saeki, Terra New York is essentially the answer to the question they posed to each other before embarking on this journey: What can a fashion-conscious woman wear when it’s raining? Semi-transparent and smokey-hued, each jacket is made out of materials like TPU/Urethane, which is derived from recycled material. Each design is heat-sealed for optimal waterproofing.
