In Singapore, we have two kinds of weather: sunny and rainy. Whether we like it or not, heavy rainfall is common in our little country. Sadly, this can be disastrous for those of us who don’t plan our outfits properly. While it’s always a smart idea to dress smartly to weatherproof ourselves, many of us don’t. Well, now is the time to change that.
Besides parkas, raincoats and jackets, umbrellas and storm-proof shoes to keep you dry, you’ll want to look at these stylish waterproof or water-resistant bags to protect your valuables from the damaging effects of water. Say goodbye to drenched, water-soaked bags, and say hello worry-less days in the rain!
