UMBRELLA COAT: The Perfect Combination of Raincoat and Umbrella

Stay Dry and Hands-Free with this Innovative Design

Designed by Athanasia Leivaditou

When it comes to rainy days, the struggle to stay dry while maintaining freedom of movement is a common challenge. However, designer Athanasia Leivaditou has come up with a brilliant solution - the UMBRELLA COAT. This innovative raincoat combines the functionality of a raincoat, an umbrella, and waterproof trousers, providing the ultimate protection against the elements.

The UMBRELLA COAT is designed to adapt to different weather conditions and levels of rain. Its unique feature allows it to be adjusted to provide varying levels of protection. For instance, if the water level is high, the coat can be converted into trousers, ensuring complete coverage. The hood of the raincoat is a hybrid between a hood and an umbrella, providing excellent protection for the face even during heavy rain. To further enhance its functionality, a transparent plastic membrane can be attached to the hood, offering almost full coverage. Additionally, strings are included to keep the hood in place during windy days.

One of the standout features of the UMBRELLA COAT is its combination of a raincoat and an umbrella in one item. This design allows for hands-free movement, making it perfect for activities such as riding a bicycle or engaging in sports. Furthermore, in crowded streets, the umbrella-hood extends above the shoulders, preventing any accidental collisions with other umbrellas.

The UMBRELLA COAT is made using waterproof fabric and an aluminum structure for the hood, ensuring durability and functionality. It is available in different sizes to cater to various body types.

The UMBRELLA COAT was conceptualized and realized by Athanasia Leivaditou in May 2011. This innovative design has garnered recognition and acclaim, winning the Silver A' Design Award in the Fashion, Apparel, and Garment Design category in 2012. This prestigious award is given to designs that showcase outstanding expertise, innovation, and creativity. The UMBRELLA COAT's technical characteristics and artistic skill have been commended, as it introduces a remarkable level of excellence and evokes positive emotions of amazement and wonder.

The UMBRELLA COAT is a true game-changer in the world of rainwear, offering a unique and practical solution to the challenges faced during rainy days. With its combination of a raincoat and an umbrella, this design provides the perfect balance between protection and freedom of movement. Stay dry and stylish with the UMBRELLA COAT.
