Paris, 1965.
On a rainy day, clothes retailer Léon-Claude Duhamel observed as people rushed by in soaking wet clothes, with uncomfortable umbrellas in their hands.
He had an idea: creating a waterproof object that could be carried all times, but which was neither an umbrella nor a raincoat.
A revolutionary jacket was born: lightweight, comfortable and completely waterproof, that could be folded in a small hip bag.
