What is Maium?
Maium is a rainwear label from Amsterdam, founded by two friends who grew up cycling through the rain. Years of wet commutes inspired them to design raincoats that are functional, sustainable and stylish.
Products and positioning
The brand makes unisex rain jackets and coats that reinterpret classic outerwear shapes with vintage silhouettes and a modern twist. A practical signature is a set of side zips that turn the coats into ponchos, covering both the rider and the bike.

Why it matters
