Creating a fashion company with displaced people

The Rain Lab Identity

We are a diverse group of artisans and creatives from Afghanistan, Iran & Greece.

We began Rain Lab with the purpose to create meaningful employment opportunities and sustainable income for refugees in Athens.

At Rain Lab, each person finds professional development, a supportive team, and a welcoming space for creativity. Through creativity, advocacy, and community, Rain Lab seeks to support individuals in the greater process of self-sustainability.

Our handcrafted products are an expression of this pursuit.

The Rain Lab Story

At Rain Lab, we work with each of our employees in the path to achieve their goals and dreams. For some, the desire is a future rooted in Greece. While for others, our time is limited as they await paperwork to make a home elsewhere in the EU. Whether we have the privilege of working together long-term, or being a stepping stone to a future elsewhere, Rain Lab enables self-sustainability and empowerment in the journey.

2021 was the incubation year of researching, planning, and working towards this. December 2021, the dream became a reality as we first began working with the talented and beautiful women in the Rain Lab team, developing beautiful products. March 2022 we publicly launched for sales, and the journey is just beginning.

We are passionate about ethical fashion, and we are proud of our artisans, our process, and our products.
