By definition, “Harvest” is the consequence of an effort or activity to reap and gather natural products. Nullah’s Harvest Festival will definitely be gathering an interesting and eclectic mix of Asian-inspired or proudly Filipino-made and environmentally-friendly products from various vendors such as Scents & Sensibilities home fragrances, Ocean-Minded eco-friendly apparel, Dyario Manila the latest news in bags, Too Good People t-shirts, Art of Gold home fashion, Danilo Franco designer pieces, Polka Tots children’s wear, Bella Bimbi body splashes and lotions, Dub Jewelry upcycled accessories, Zeal protective eyewear, ReadyforRain and Plueys printed rainboots and rain gear, Fanatic Boards windsurf and stand up paddle boards, Beach Babe in the City beach bombshell scents, Whipped Tee Couture repurposed stylized outfits, Jacinto & Lirio bags fashioned from water lilies, Butterfly Twists clever little soles and many more.

Shopping at Nullah has always been an experience in itself. A few minutes within this jewel of a boutique, you will find yourself slowing down from the frenetic pace of the city. This is the calming environment we would like to maintain for our customers, a relaxing shopping haven, an escape from the retail madness that is typical during this time of the year.

boys, it’s your time to shiiiine! :)

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

since we began this business, we’ve always been asked, “when will you have something for guys?” and now we do! so for the boys out there who have been lurking and hoping for more masculine wet weather footwear, check out our selection of galoshes. :)

Tingley Men's Executive

Tingley Men's Executive

galoshes are extremely flexible and durable high grade rubber overshoes that you put OVER your shoes (dress shoes, leather shoes, rubber shoes, whatever type of shoes!) to protect from rain and the elements.

you can show off your leather with Commuters, which you can easily slip on over your dress shoes so you step out in waterproof style. these are perfect for you if you happen to brave a lot of puddles on your commute to work. they are non-bulky and completely slip-proof and water-resistant, not to mention, these galoshes are so comfortable and flexible, it’s a cinch riding a bike in them! :) Available in men’s small, medium and large sizes for Php999 inclusive of shipping. :)

if you feel like you need more protection, the Executive might be your best bet. running up to your ankle, it’s like a full-on suit for your shoes, with side zips that make it easy for you to slip them on. again, it works with whatever type of shoes you’re in, whether rubber shoes or leather, put these on and achieve instant polished classic style, with plus points for being waterproof!

upon arriving indoors, you can just slip off your galoshes and lightly rinse them with water and wipe dry before you pack them away. fold them up or roll them up, stash them in your car or in your work bag so you’re ready for the the next rainy day! :)

Rain boot production is largely a handmade process

Rain boot production is largely a handmade process

Almost 70 years ago, the tradition of rubber boot making began. Boot making is a lengthy hand-made process; a different person is responsible every step of the way. One person prepares the rubber, one person creates the mold, another person shapes the rubber into the mold, another person attaches the buckle, yet another person attaches the sole, and another person finishes the rubber with gloss. As a final step, one last person tests the rubber boot to ensure that it is waterproof.

Whew! So much work goes into producing a piece of reliable waterproof footwear! The reality is that over a hundred people have a hand in making a single rain boot.

Today, the story isn’t completely different. Rubber rain boot production, whether printed or not, still takes a lot of hard work and attention to detail. Each piece really is a handmade work of art; no two printed rainboots are exactly the same!

At Readyforrain.com, we do extensive checks to ensure that the rainboots you do purchase from us are gloriously beautiful and live up to our waterproof standards.

Several rainboots which we have found to have very minor imperfections (featherlight scratches, barely noticeable scuffs, tiny misprints, folds that disappear when worn)–which are actually expected and not entirely avoidable given the multiple steps in rain boot production–are now marked as RED TAG in our online store. We think these irregularities are character-adding and are just added proof that our rainboots are truly lovingly handmade–this makes us want to make sure they are all put to good use!

So if you’re not particularly sensitive to these minor imperfections and want to have rainboots that still work well to keep you dry from the rain, this is your chance to score a pair. RED TAG items are deeply discounted and ship for free, only while supplies last. Visit www.readyforrain.com and place an order today.

*No refunds on already deeply discounted red tag items; all sales are final.
