The Carny Valley Cape Story
A new breed of rain coat
Play outdoors without covering up in a full length raincoat! 25 years of UK festivals led Cat, the founder of Carny Valley, to design a new kind of raincoat. Designed for freedom and fun but with practicality and eco values at it's heart. Carny Valley capes will keep you dry AND look great, complement not cover up. When it's time to take them off, use our unique hands-free stow system so you don't have to carry, tie or wrap around, or stash and lose them! |
Designed, developed and manufactured in the UK, Carny Valley showcases the talents of our homegrown family businesses. Dreamed of in fields around the UK, conceived in Bristol, developed and manufactured in the Midlands using materials from local manufacturers, including British Millerain. Carny Valley supports the UK textiles industry. |
Short rain capes work!
They're short. We know it seems crazy but short rain capes keep you dry. They're designed to create a dry void below - like an umbrella on your shoulders (with a hood).
Size inclusivity
Our carefully developed 'one size' pattern will fit most body shapes and sizes (women's 8-24). We use minimal fastenings for easy on and off. Our capes are unisex, with either 'female' or 'male' closure preference and our poppers offer two comfortable sizes at the neck.
Our Eco Cape Ethos
Proud to be a sustainable fashion business
Yes, you could buy a plastic poncho from eBay for a few quid.
We aren't into throwaway. We stand with you in the war on waste.
We make products to last and to love. Our capes mold to your body over time, fitting you perfectly. They develop a patina, become more beautiful and unique with age, just like you.
We are eco-friendly. We've chosen waxed cotton and metal fastenings because we don't want to add to the plastic problem.We use a small amount of nylon webbing to attach the D-rings, so your cape will last for the longest time.

Waxed cotton is a hard-wearing fabric that will last for years. The wax is a mechanical barrier to rain, so there are no tech membranes to fail and you can re-wax your cape year after year. This puts YOU in charge of the lifespan of your garment, rather than cynical design created to fail within a limited time.
