the Californian lifestyle, entrepreneurial spirit and inspiring energy

OUR STORY.
RAINWEAR FROM CALIFORNIA.
It all began with a rainy day in L.A., a soaked leather jacket, some napkins and a pen, a glass of red wine - and the courage to simply bring an idea to life.
DELPIN was born in Los Angeles. As to the prevalent conjecture '... it never rains in Southern California...' but indeed it does sometimes pour.
Thus began the inception of DELPIN, under the golden light of sun mixed with rain, based on a personal need and an unsuccessful search for a stylish rain jacket. Started at our founder Claudia's kitchen table with napkin sketches drawn by her talented photographer husband...
... and inspired by David Bowie, Hunter S. Thompson and Pippi Longstocking.
FASHION MEETS FUNCTION.
The DELPIN contemporary icon piece series is inspired by the classic rain cape of our childhood - interpreted for the urban woman on the go to the world traveler. The original DELPIN cape is designed as an unparalleled mixture between cape and jacket and transfers advanced functional technology as well as manufacturing engineering - generally used for technical outdoor apparel - to our luxurious fashion product.
100% waterproof. All seams sealed.
Smart details like detachable hoods, inside pockets and high-class Italian fabrics allow multiple uses of the garment. Not only on rainy days.
WE CARE.
HANDMADE IN EUROPE.
We carefully select only fabrics and accessories with high quality standards that add to the prolonged lifespan of one piece. We pay attention not only to design and function but also to craftsmanship and work together with experienced European manufacturers.
The belief that a company must be responsible for the social and ecological impact of its day-to-day business activities is strongly embedded in the mindset of Claudia Delpin. Our organizational culture is based on core values of social responsibility, accountability and transparency. These values are integrated into all functional areas and decision-making processes.
WHO IS DELPIN.
BUY THE TICKET. TAKE THE RIDE.
Our Austria-born owner Claudia Delpin worked over a decade in the advertising and marketing industry sucessfully managing multiple international companies and projects. In 2011 she founded her first own company focusing on the worldwide management for her husband Wolfgang Zac, an award-winning photographer and director who collaborates with international agencies on global ad campaigns and art projects.
Highly inspired by the creative spirit and entrepreneurial energy in Los Angeles and Berlin the couple moved their base from Vienna to divide their time between California and Germany.
... and then there was this rainy day in L.A. ...
Strongly believing in the power of ideas, in courage and gut instinct Claudia started the adventure and began to form the foundation for what later would become DELPIN.
Launched in 2016 our owner-run brand consists of a small, passionate and dynamic team of international people, all sharing the same spirit, values and visions.
