About the brand
Le Temps des Grenouilles is a responsible rain cape brand dedicated to urban cyclists. Everything has been designed to provide protection and safety on your bike while remaining stylish, because yes, Le Temps des Grenouilles also protects your style! The brand's major challenge has been to successfully combine practicality with a cut that protects you from the rain once you're on your bike, but still looks chic when worn off the bike, ensuring safety by integrating reflective elements into the design with a touch on the zippers, and using technical materials to maintain optimal waterproofing and breathability, with results the brand is proud of! Practical and perfectly in line with current trends, the brand is a true mix of styles, offering collections for both men and women. Not just heroes wear capes!
Eco-responsible impact
The entire collection uses certified organic and/or recycled materials. Plastic bottles transformed into rain capes—it's possible! Did you know? Using recycled materials reduces oil consumption by 100% and fabric manufacturing consumption by 90% compared to conventional manufacturing. With Le Temps des Grenouilles, it's about going beyond the theme of sustainable travel by promoting cycling in the rain, which saves fuel every day and oil during production. As for water, it's the rain that slides off the capes! Because people are also at the heart of our priorities, the garments are made under fair working conditions in BSCI or FairWear certified factories. And because packaging is a major source of pollution, all packaging is also recycled.
