There is something truly magical about Ireland – the ever-changing skies, the lush green landscapes, and the quiet beauty of rain-soaked days. It’s a place where nature is always close, where stories are shared easily, and where even the greyest weather holds a certain charm.
For Lynn, who lives in County Waterford in the south-east of Ireland, this connection to nature is part of everyday life. As the founder of a natural skincare brand and a community herbalist, she spends her days working with plants, teaching others, and embracing the rhythms of the seasons.

And like many RainSisters women, her journey with the brand began with a moment she never forgot.
A Coat Worth Running After
It was a rainy day at the Lismore Farmers Market when Lynn first spotted it – a coat that seemed to stand apart from everything else.
“It was absolutely lashing, as it often does in Ireland,” she recalls, “but she stood out among the raincoats and umbrellas and looked absolutely amazing.”
The silhouette, the movement, the colour – it was unlike anything she had seen before.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about it. When she passed back, I actually ran after her to ask where she got it.”
That moment opened the door to RainSisters – and to a whole new way of thinking about outerwear.
Practical, But Colourful
Lynn describes her personal style as “practical, but colourful”. Living in Ireland means being prepared for anything – sunshine, rain, wind, sometimes all within a single day. So, a good coat isn’t optional, it’s essential.
“Honestly, it’s a very rare day here when you leave the house without a coat. I’ve even turned the car around on a sunny day just to go back and get mine – just in case it rains!”
But, as it turns out, practicality doesn’t mean sacrificing beauty.
“I love pieces that feel a little bit special. Clothing that makes you feel good the moment you put it on.”

And that’s where RainSisters comes in.
After that unforgettable encounter, Lynn searched for the brand and instantly fell in love. The coat she had seen was the ‘Misty Rose’ (which is still on her wishlist today), but instead, she chose the ‘Hortense’ coat.
“I’ve never regretted it. The colours are beautiful and the shape is incredibly flattering.”
Since then, her collection has grown to include also a second coat – a more understated black design with a sapphire blue lining, the ‘Black Sapphire’. It’s perfect for days, when she wants something simpler, but still elegant.
When a Coat Becomes The Outfit
Before RainSisters, coats were simply functional for Lynn – something to wear and remove as soon as possible. But that changed completely.
“It’s one of those pieces that makes you stand a little taller the moment you put it on. Now it’s often the outfit.”

Whether she’s wearing a dress, jeans, or even leggings and a hoodie, the coat transforms everything.
“It gives you confidence. It feels like putting on something joyful.”
From Ireland to Scotland
Lynn’s RainSisters coat has travelled with her beyond Ireland, most recently on a trip to Scotland.
“It felt completely at home there – dramatic landscapes, misty mountains, and plenty of rain.”

Even while hiking in casual clothes, the coat elevated every moment, remembers Lynn.
“When you’re on holiday you still want to feel dressed up. With the coat, I never felt underdressed.”
And just like in Ireland, it didn’t go unnoticed.
“People stopped me many times to ask about it,” shares Lynn.
Made for Real Weather
Of course, in Ireland, a coat must do more than look beautiful – it has to perform. And Lynn’s RainSisters coat does exactly that.
“It keeps you dry while still looking beautiful. It’s practical without feeling like typical rainwear.”
She especially appreciated the longer length – something often missing in traditional raincoats.
“With this and a good pair of boots, you stay completely dry.”

For Lynn, wearing a RainSisters coat is about more than style.
“It makes me feel happy and confident. It instantly lifts your mood and makes even a rainy day feel special.”
As Lynn puts it, there’s something almost story-like about it… “It makes me feel like I've stepped into, or maybe out of, a storybook.”
For Those Who Wish To Fall In Love
When aksed what she would say to someone discovering RainSisters for the first time, Lynn is confident:
“Prepare to fall in love. One is never enough.”
Beautifully designed, practical for real weather, and filled with colour and joy – her words capture exactly what RainSisters is all about.
And somewhere in Ireland, on a rainy day, you might just spot a coat that stands out from the crowd – and feel inspired to run after it.
