Umbrella cane

Even on the chilly rainy day, we want to look fashionable and stylish. An umbrella cane can help in this, a fashion for which has not passed for several centuries. The first umbrellas appeared in ancient China.

According to legend, the inventor of the design more than 3 thousand years ago was an ordinary Chinese carpenter, who decided to make a roof for his beloved, which will always be with her. The invention was “to the taste” of the Chinese nobility, then migrated to the ancient states of Greece and Rome, and from there it spread throughout Europe and around the world.

New life for the popular additions to the wardrobe was given by the French, turning them into real works of art and making fashion accessories.

Today, such an umbrella will be reliable protection from the weather and will help to create a light and original image.

Unlike the ancient Chinese and ancient Greek fashionistas and women of fashion, in the “arsenal” of which there were only bulky non-folding structures, modern worshipers of cane umbrellas have a wide selection of this addition to the image.

There are several parameters by which they differ from each other.

They can be semi-automatic or mechanical. Moreover, the latter are considered more reliable and durable.

Modern manufacturers in the manufacture of the frame use steel, carbon, metal alloys or aluminum.

The use of aluminum greatly facilitates the design, but makes it vulnerable to strong winds. Steel, on the contrary, weighs significantly more, but provides reliable protection against bending and breakage.

The use of fiberglass for their frames and knitting needles has become a new word in the creation of umbrellas. Fiberglass structures are easily bent and then returned to their desired shape. The needles in these models are equipped with special springs that are not afraid of any weather.

The number of knitting needles can also vary in different ways: from 8 to 32. The more knitting needles, the less risk that the fabric will sag sooner or later and the product will lose its appearance and functionality. However, a significant number of them greatly complicates the design, so the average number is optimal - about 16.

As for the rod, it can be faceted or round. The first is more reliable. Therefore, it is preferable.

This most important element, on which the practicality and aesthetics of an accessory depends, can be made of:

• Thin and cheap nylon;
• Durable and quick-drying polyester;
• Water-repellent satin;
• Pongee is a polyester-cotton blend that allows raindrops to flow down the dome, leaving it completely dry.

The handle is no less important than the dome and knitting needles. If the pen is uncomfortable, then no other pluses will be a joy.

Most often, this element is made of wood, metal or rubber. At the same time, an umbrella with a wooden handle has a more presentable and solid appearance, and with an rubber - an advantage in durability and practicality.

In addition, models with a rubberized handle are considered the most convenient, since it does not slip and does not get wet.

According to this principle, umbrella canes are divided into those that protect from rain, and those that cover in the summer from the scorching sun.

Products in the form of a cane can be both male and female, and even children.

Currently, the "homeland" of most "weather defenders" is China. However, if you wish, you can buy real branded models from British, Italian, German and other well-known manufacturers in stores and boutiques.

Among the famous European brands: Doppler (Austria), Zest and Fulton (Great Britain), Ferre, Nino Cerruti, Jean-Paul, Dalvey and others.

The recognized leader in the manufacture of beautiful and stylish umbrellas is Rainbow. Its products, characterized by increased strength and bright colors, will delight even the most demanding customers.

Umbrellas for all occasions and for the whole family are offered by Unit Standard. All its products are reliable, durable and attractive.

The largest variety of colors can boast designs of the Mabu brand. In its assortment you can find practical accessories in black, chocolate and even rum colors. A special place is taken by transparent options.

Many people like Chantal Thomass products. High quality and versatility are combined in them with originality and style.

Compact folding umbrellas are easy to clean, for example, in a handbag. With an umbrella cane, everything is more complicated - it must always be carried in hands. But then they:

• They can serve as additional support when walking;
• They have more rounded domes that allow water to slide faster, and, therefore, dry faster;
• They have the largest size, more reliably protecting from rain flows;
• Tighten the fabric more when opening, so it better repels moisture;
• They have more durable knitting needles that withstand significant wind loads;
• Perfectly fit the business style of clothing.

The choice of color and style of the umbrella depends on the preferences of its owner. However, stylists advise business men to pay attention to timeless classics - calm, dim colors (black, beige, coffee).

Admirers of retro-style may prefer vintage copies. But for romantics, options with images of nature or animals are suitable.

It is also better to choose bright saturated colors for young people, and for those who are older, calm monophonic umbrellas will be the best option.

Ladies when choosing such umbrellas should consider their height. Short women should not buy models with a very wide dome, which will further “reduce” the growth of the hostess. A good option in this case is a transparent product or a deep version of a light color.

A correctly selected umbrella cane will fit almost any clothing and will help to complement a stylish male or female image.

Every year, designers of well-known companies create more and more new options: from simple and strict to bright and joyful, uplifting, with which no whims of nature are afraid.

One of the new gifts to consumers is chameleon umbrellas, which are able to change color when the angle of illumination changes and depending on the temperature, as well as the water that falls on them.

Another trend is yellow umbrellas. Moreover, both a dome and a fashionable print on it can be yellow. An original and stylish women's accessory is a yellow knitted umbrella, which will give a sunny mood and complement the romantic image of its owner.

Transparent dome models look original. They will become reliable protection against the “surprises” of the weather, but at the same time they will let light through.

Among the leaders in popularity are products with a logo. Most often, the logo of the manufacturer is used as the logo. But logos of sports clubs or well-known brands can also be applied.

The dream of representatives of the stronger half is an umbrella president or presidential umbrella. Each company has a different one, but it always has the most improved characteristics and is perfect not only for working meetings, but also for romantic dates in the rain.

An unusual design decision was an umbrella cane with a blade, which quickly won the sympathy of customers. This is not only an unusually looking accessory, but also a real means of self-defense.

Depending on the model, the blade may extend or fly out.

An umbrella gun can be called a real masterpiece. Of course, such a weapon will not shoot, but this accessory of a real man looks quite impressive and original. This is the only case when a serious weapon turns into an anti-rain dome with one movement of the hand.

The assortment of cane umbrellas is very large, so there are very different reviews about them. In general, most of them are positive. Especially when it comes to genuine branded products.

Most often, buyers and fans of such designs note their reliability even with strong winds and long service life.

In addition, they can not but rejoice in their color and model variety, which makes it possible to choose the right accessory for every taste.
