Rain Bonnets​

Do you still have rain bonnets? This trusty and portable accessory has been a lifesaver for countless women's hairstyles over the years. No more frizzy hair or ruined curls—simply slip on your rain bonnet, and you're ready to conquer the drizzle with style and ease. It's like having a little piece of vintage flair in your pocket, always there to lend a hand when the weather takes a turn.

always had one - but being a bit of a tomboy, never used them.

I had one as well. Always made you look so glamorous, (not) though probably better than looking like a drowned rat.

I remember all the mums, aunts, grandmothers wore them. They were pretty clever the way they concenteenered back together when you pulled the ties on each end. Folded up very small and I’m sure they were an accessory every woman had in her handbag. There were some pretty fancy designs on some of them, they could be quite the fashion accessory. I used to wear one when I first started working but don‘t have it anymore. Wore it out from memory.
