Flotte — Colorful waterproof jackets, created in Paris | Appart17 Brussels

In Brussels, we know it’s going to rain — the only question is when. Flotte decided to turn that into good news: colorful, lightweight, and truly waterproof jackets that you’ll want to wear even when the sky is blue.

The story of Flotte

Flotte was founded in Paris in 2020 by Lyly Wu and Mickaël Pan, with a simple idea: to make rainwear desirable. The couple caters to "pluviophiles"—those who find joy in a rainy day—and designs colorful, windproof raincoats made from recycled materials, far removed from the utilitarian image of the classic slicker. In April 2024, Flotte opened its first boutique in the Marais.
