Description
This kids' push-up umbrella is covered in sharks, swimming in every direction across a dark blue canopy. There are hammerheads, spotted sharks and slim long-nosed ones, picked out in orange, grey, white, purple and pale blue, so there is always another one to find on a rainy walk. It is made from metal, nylon and plastic, measures 70cm by 70cm and 53cm high, and weighs 0.202KG, light enough to carry to the bus stop and back without a fuss.
It is sized for children rather than grown-ups, and the curved hook handle is easy for a smaller hand to hold, then hangs neatly over an arm, a coat peg or the back of a chair once the rain stops. We think it suits the school run, puddle walks in the park, trips into town and grey days at the seaside, anywhere a bright print helps a damp morning along. The busy pattern sits as happily beside a yellow raincoat as a navy one, and with so many sharks on it, it is easy to pick out on a crowded cloakroom peg.
As a push-up umbrella, it opens by hand: slide the runner up the shaft until the canopy is fully open, then draw it back down to close. Small rounded caps finish the end of each rib and the tip, and a strap wraps around the folded canopy to keep it tidy in a bag or by the door. When it comes home wet, open it out to dry before folding it away, and wipe the handle with a soft damp cloth now and then. Hang it on a hook by the front door next to the wellies, and it is ready for the next shower.
