About RainTees

Creating Raintees

Beth Doane created RainTees in 2007 when she realized just how toxic the fashion industry can be for the environment. Beth had already developed RainTees’ parent company Andira International at age 22, where she focused on launching, importing and distributing exclusive European brands to the United States market.

The word “Andira” describes a tall tree which grows in the Brazilian Amazon and has been used for centuries by indigenous people for its medicinal properties. However, due to logging, oil drilling and agricultural expansion in the Amazon, the species has become nearly extinct.

As a result of this devastation, Beth wanted to launch a line that would educate consumers on critical environmental and social issues, end the negative effects of climate change, and not cause further damage to the earth in the process. When she realized that no such brand existed, she established Rain Tees.

Over the years, Andira has grown to offer consulting, design, distribution, and marketing to companies that want to launch products while remaining as eco-conscious as possible. Every collection Andira designs, imports or helps to produce is made using fair labor practices and contains no animal parts or products, as we believe fashion should always be cruelty free.
