Stained Glass Star Jasmine Folding Umbrella – Auto Open & Both Sides Printed

Stained Glass Star Jasmine Folding Umbrella — a leaded-glass Star Jasmine treatment covers the canopy in saturated panel color, printed inside and out. The pattern was scaled to the canopy rather than tiled onto it, so the design resolves properly when the umbrella is open instead of breaking across the ribs.

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.

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. Folded it is short enough to stand upright in a backpack pocket, which is the difference between carrying one and leaving it by the door.

As a present it is genuinely useful, which is rarer in gifts than it should be. The canopy dries quickly once shaken, and the frame is designed to be re-tensioned by hand if a gust turns it inside out.
