The Original RainSkirt

Emergent Designs was born after many a soggy morning and wrinkled skirt. Sick of stuffing her skirt into her rain pants, Libby Earthman knew there must be a better way. Libby invented WeatherWraps and RainSkirts while living in wet Humboldt County, California as a way to get around without rain pants.

Libby grew up fly fishing the high mountain streams of Colorado and moved to California to pursue her passion for river and salmon conservation. There she worked with the AmeriCorps Watershed Stewards Project and the Mattole Restoration Council.

Libby’s dedication to protecting the environments which sustain us are reflected through Emergent Designs. One percent of all sales are donated to Project Laundry List. All "environmental donations" go to the same (see our shipping policy ). Project Laundry List advocates for the rights of people who want to hang their clothing out on a line.

We selected Project Laundry List because the volunteers there work to decrease the environment impact of clothing care while advocating for clean air, clean water, and viable communities. If you'd like to learn more or donate to this worthy cause, please browse over to their site .
