Kolsvart paraply

The automatic open is genuinely handy when you're juggling bags, and it pops up smoothly without any wrestling. The Italian fabric feels substantial, not flimsy like my last travel umbrella, and the whole thing slips neatly into its case at 45cm for my carry-on.

The maple wood handle feels wonderful in the hand, and the fact it's cut and finished by hand in England shows in the details. Tucked into its matching case, it's slim enough to slip into my work bag without bulging.

The maple wood handle feels really nice in the hand, and the whole thing is surprisingly light for how sturdy it is. It fits perfectly in my work bag with its matching case, and the automatic opening makes one-handed use a breeze on rainy commutes.
