I have a delightful blue one with white polka dots that my sister brought me from Germany and I love using it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/umbrellas#post-26671 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 02:22:03 +0000 Maya 26671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had an umbrella from H&#38;M Angie, and Shell is right--they aren't meant to last. A few windy days later and mine was broken.</p> <p>What do you mean by non-collapsible, Shell? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/umbrellas#post-26660 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:22:17 +0000 shell 26660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fyi: i have two umbrellas from H&#38;M: my fabulous pink one and a navy/white printed one (w/ the cutest little cherubs!). however, they don't stand up great against wind. though i look like a dork when it blows inside out, i am a fabulous-umbrella accesorized dork! :)</p> <p>i'm thinking the non-collapsible ones stand up the best against wind, despite their inconvenience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/umbrellas#post-26652 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:55:37 +0000 Angie 26652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried H&#38;M? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/umbrellas#post-26626 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:47:58 +0000 Inge 26626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Radley (a British company) has cute umbrellas Maya. The small ones are super compact and quite sturdy.<br /> <a href="http://www.radley.co.uk/en-gb/CategoryList/?cid=RUMB" rel="nofollow">http://www.radley.co.uk/en-gb/...../?cid=RUMB</a><br /> (not all available designs are on their site though).</p> <p>I have the slim daisy in black. Bought it on eBay.<br /> I'm not sure if you can find them easily in the USA though, but it's worth to check eBay.co.uk, lots of sellers ship overseas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/umbrellas#post-26622 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:13:42 +0000 Maya 26622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, maybe I'm the only one that considers an umbrella an accessory, but I figure as long as it's going to be a yucky day, at least I can shield myself with a cute umbrella. Recently I lost my beloved Marimekko umbrella that I only got a few months ago and only used twice :(. I need a new one, but this time I'd like to get one that's smaller. A mini umbrella less than 9" long when closed, lightweight, and automatic as I often only have one hand free. It needs to be fairly sturdy despite the small size though, since it gets pretty windy here and I have had problems with umbrellas turning inside out. A tall order, but maybe someone has a recommendation? </p>
