Vintage Umbrella

Umbrella are extremely understated and I feel should be modelled more by all of us. Derived from the latin  word, Umbrel meaning Shade, they have been used since 11th century BC In most probably China. Today we see them used to create a dry globe around our body, and use them as a practical use more than a fashion statement, something that I would not mind see changing.

Yesterday I thought I would chose a different umbrella to take out to "brighten" up what would be seen by most as a dull and dreary day. However I picked a vintage styled Chinese umbrella, whilst modelling the purples on the patter, on the cover of the umbrella. The handle being a bamboo cane.  We need more umbrellas in shops that are not made from horrible flammable plastics that rip in the slightest bit of wind... come on now the weather is not too good in Britain. We need to see more hand made object appear in shops, or at leads make them look like they are. Now fair enough men you may not want to walk around in an umbrella that looks like you should be a lady from the 1930's, like I probably modelled perfectly yesterday unfortunately, however you have no excuses, look on ebay, bid your hearts content out for a vintage male umbrella. The handle should be wood, or another material based from a plant as these last you the longest. Men you should be looking for a black/blue umbrella with a wooden handle. The umbrella should not fold up and should be walked by your side.
For women I want to see no folding up umbrellas, they have to have a nice pattern on the top of the umbrella, and should too have a plant based handle and walked along side you.
