Umbrella cane

Even on the dankest rainy day, we want to look fashionable and stylish. Umbrella-cane, which fashion has not passed for several centuries, can help in this. 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 that will always be with her. The invention had to "taste" of the Chinese nobility, then migrated to the ancient states of Greece and Rome, and from there spread throughout Europe and around the world.

New life to the popular additions to the wardrobe gave the French, turning them into real works of art and making fashionable accessories.

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

In contrast to the ancient Chinese and ancient Greek fashionistas and fashionistas, in the "arsenal" of which there were only cumbersome non-folding structures, modern admirers of cane umbrellas have a wide choice of this addition to the image.

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

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

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

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

A new word in the creation of umbrellas was the use of fiberglass for their frames and knitting needles. Fiberglass structures easily bend and then return to the desired shape. Spokes in such models are equipped with special springs, which is not terrible any weather.

Also in different ways the number of spokes can vary: from 8 to 32. The more spokes, 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 heavily weights the structure, so the average is optimal - about 16.

As for the rod, it can be faceted or round. The first is safer. And therefore preferable.

This essential element, on which the practicality and aesthetics of the accessory depend, can be made of:

• Thin and cheap nylon;
• Durable and quick-drying polyester;
• Water repellent sateen;
• Eponzha - polyester-cotton mixture, which allows rain drops to flow through the dome, leaving it completely dry.

The handle is no less important than the dome and knitting needles. If the pen turns out to be inconvenient, then no other advantages 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 look, and with a rubber one - an advantage in durability and practicality.

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

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

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

At present, the “homeland” of the majority of weather defenders is China. However, if you wish, you can purchase real branded models from British, Italian, German and other well-known manufacturers in stores and boutiques.

Famous European brands include Doppler (Austria), Zest and Fulton (UK), Ferre, Nino Cerruti, Jean-Paul, Dalvey and others.

Compact folding umbrellas are easy to put away, for example, in a handbag. With an umbrella cane all the more difficult - it must be carried in hands all the time. But then they are:

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

Retro style admirers may prefer vintage items. But romantics fit options with images of nature or animals.

Also, bright saturated colors are better to choose for young people, and for those who are older, the quiet monochrome umbrellas will be the best option.

Ladies in choosing such umbrellas should take into account their height. Low 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 would be a transparent product or a deep version of a light color.

Properly 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 vagaries of nature are terrible.

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 falling on them.

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

Transparent dome models look original. They will be a reliable protection from "surprises" of the weather, but at the same time they will transmit light.

Among the leaders of popularity - products with the logo. Most often the logo of the manufacturer is used as the logo. But it can also be applied and the logos of sports clubs or famous brands.

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

An unusual design decision was the umbrella cane with a blade, which quickly won the sympathy of buyers. 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.

A real masterpiece can be called an umbrella gun.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 where a serious weapon is transformed into a rain-canopy with a flick of the wrist.

The range of umbrellas, canes is very large, so the reviews about them are very different. In general, most of them are positive. Especially when it comes to these branded products.

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