Stained Glass Mexican Tuberose Folding Umbrella – Auto Open & Both Sides Printed

Stained Glass Mexican Tuberose Folding Umbrella — the Mexican Tuberose design is rendered in stained glass panels across the canopy, printed on both faces, so looking up into it is genuinely like standing under a window. Printing both faces costs more and is worth it: an umbrella spends most of its working life being looked up into by the person holding it.

The fabric is 100% waterproof polyester, treated so raindrops bead rather than absorb, and the canopy is oversized by 15cm — noticeably more shelter than the umbrella already in your bag. Closed, it measures around 30cm and slips into a bag pocket without a case; open, the canopy clears a shoulder bag as well as a head, which is what the extra width is for. The shaft is aluminium with fibreglass ribs, so it stays light without going flimsy.

Eight ribs, fibreglass reinforcement and hardened stretchers give it real wind resistance, and the auto-open button means you can get it up while holding a coffee. It folds compact for travel. The handle is shaped for a full grip rather than a pinch, and that shows on a windy day more than anything else about the design.

It suits someone who walks to work and has resigned themselves to being rained on. Shake it out and leave it open to dry before folding, and the water-repellent finish will keep beading rain for a long time.
