Eco cool alert. Billy Goats & Raincoats is a childrenswear label that upcycles tents into gorgeous rainwear, featuring geometric shapes and primary colours. Based in Cardiff, the company was the brainchild of designer Beth Cosmos, who was appalled by the huge number of tents left at the end of festivals. There are currently three raincoat designs, the Brecon and the Brecon Cosmic, pictured, £80, and the Môr (translates as sea in Welsh), £65, plus a collection of fabulous totes at £15 each. All are made in the UK, using tents destined for landfill and the company is zero waste and also works with music festivals to try to cut down on the amount of plastic they use. We love the mix of bright colours and space print – it’s great to find a brand where the design ethic matches the eco credentials.
