Why blend in when you were born to stand out? A rainy day is an opportunity to strut your stuff in a gorgeous Ellery Newport Historical Society Rain Cape.
The must-have accessory for stylish women, the lightweight, fashionable hooded rain wrap offers elegant protection from rain and wind.
The design was taken from an armchair in the NHS Collection, (c. 1790) belonging to Mr. William Ellery of Newport - signer of the Declaration of Independence. It was hand embroidered by his wife, Mrs. Abigail Ellery. The armchair was presented to their daughter Almy at the time of her marriage to Mr. William Stedman, who was the first Senator elected from Massachusetts.
