Despite its English-sounding name, K-ways is a French brand from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, created by Léon-Claude Duhamel in 1965. The son of a textile industrialist, he suggested to his father that he create a new product from coated nylon that could replace the heavy rainwear worn by children. The new garment was light, comfortable and could be rolled up into a small fanny pack for transport. It was a colourful idea, with bright red, blue and green colours intruding into the dull changing rooms of rainy days.
A revolution in the codes and ideas of the time was underway and K-ways indirectly contributed to it. An iconic and modern garment, it was present in every schoolyard in the 70s and 80s. Twenty years later, in the early 2000s, Italian elegance brought the original models up to date with revisited cuts, slipped under a jacket, it became the fashionable, light, comfortable and ultra-trendy touch. The range is expanding with reversible down jackets, parkas and high quality jumpers. The K-way 3.0 is tearproof, 100% waterproof and still allows the skin to breathe.
