Stained Glass Mussaenda Folding Umbrella – Auto Open & Both Sides Printed

Stained Glass Mussaenda Folding Umbrella — a leaded-glass Mussaenda treatment covers the canopy in saturated panel color, printed inside and out. 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 canopy is 100% polyester with a multi-step water-repellent finish, so rain beads and shakes off rather than soaking in. It runs 15cm wider than a standard folding umbrella, which is the difference between staying dry and nearly staying dry. It weighs little enough to forget in a bag and folds down to roughly the length of a paperback. The eight-rib layout distributes strain more evenly than the six-rib frames used on cheaper folding umbrellas.

The reinforced eight-rib structure and thickened metal axles are what stop it inverting on a gusty street corner. It opens automatically with one hand and folds down small enough for a bag. 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 gives well to a commuter, a traveller, or anyone whose current umbrella is the free one from a conference. Shake it out and leave it open to dry before folding, and the water-repellent finish will keep beading rain for a long time.
