A women's umbrella is an attribute of every girl's wardrobe, which can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also as an accessory. The cane model today enjoys high popularity among modern fashionistas. With such an umbrella, the girl looks more stylish and elegant if you choose an accessory of discreet classic colors. But products with floral patterns, original prints in the form of animals, anime pictures, ornaments, rainbow colors are a great option for romantic natures.
Today, leather goods and accessories stores offer a huge selection of women's umbrellas. In order not to miscalculate with a purchase, it is necessary to carefully and deliberately approach the choice of goods, having previously familiarized yourself with various recommendations regarding the acquisition of a high-quality, practical and functional cane umbrella.
Design features
Umbrella cane is more practical and functional to use. The special structure of the dome reliably protects from rain and sudden gusts of wind. Many people think that this type of umbrella is heavy and uncomfortable. However, this opinion is erroneous. In the production of umbrellas, lightweight aluminum is used, which guarantees the product a high degree of strength, but at the same time does not add much weight to it.Separately, it is worth noting the models, the body and spokes of which are made of fiberglass. Fiberglass is a special modern material that is widely used in the production of umbrellas by various leading brands.
Umbrellas in the form of a cane can have various types of domes: both wider and deeper. A wide dome makes it possible to hide under one accessory at once, for example, two people. But the deep dome will reliably hide a person even during a downpour or heavy wind.
Such a model of a women's umbrella can also be used as an additional accessory, which gives the image elegance, special charm and style.
How to choose the right
When choosing a women's umbrella, two main criteria should be taken into account: the functionality of the accessory and the aesthetic appeal. The cane cannot be hidden in a purse, an umbrella of this format is always in sight, therefore, the outer side of the product also plays an important role.
There are a number of characteristics that may influence the choice of one or another accessory. Let's take a closer look at what you should pay attention to when buying a high-quality and reliable umbrella.
- High wear resistance and practicality of the product. It is necessary to pay attention to the materials from which the accessory is made (fabric for the dome, materials for the knitting needles and the base, the unfolding and folding mechanism, the type of handle, etc.).
- Colors (monochrome bright, monochromatic soothing pastel shades, two-tone, with prints on various topics, transparent, transparent with prints, rainbow colors and other options).
- Number of spokes. Cane umbrellas come in various models, the number of spokes can vary from 8 to 24.Models with 8 or 16 spokes are considered the most convenient and best option, since such products are more reliable during operation.
- The popularity of the brand and the ratio of the criteria "price" and "quality". Branded products are an order of magnitude higher than similar models of unknown companies. But an umbrella is such an accessory when quality and practicality should come first. In this case, it is better to give preference to products of well-known brands.
How to wear
Most umbrellas in the form of a cane come with a case, which is complemented by a long handle. This handle makes it easy to carry the umbrella over your shoulder. Thanks to this “transport system”, the difficulty is simplified in that the cane can be inconvenient to carry when, for example, the rain has stopped.
The umbrella handle itself is of two types: hook or straight. The hook handle is considered more convenient, since this format can be hung on the back of a chair when they come to work. But models of umbrellas with straight handles are preferred by those who like the combination of classic and modern in one thing.
Components of the dome
A variety of models of women's umbrellas can sometimes puzzle the fair sex. What should you pay attention to when choosing an umbrella-cane? What product features should be considered?
The size
The accessory should complement the girl and not create inconvenience for her. Therefore, young ladies of short stature should not purchase models that are too long. Today, heavy umbrellas are a thing of the distant past, so when buying, you need to carefully study the materials from which the spokes and the base are made. The lightest are models made of lightweight aluminum alloy or fiberglass.
Color
In contrast to the conservatism of male models, women's cane umbrellas are presented in various color variations. For a business woman, there is a choice of models with domes in classic colors in stores. Umbrellas with unusual prints, rainbow colors or a combination of contrasting tones look original. Among young girls, accessories with transparent domes are very popular.
Textile
Companies specializing in the production of umbrellas can use the following types of fabrics for sewing domes:
- nylon;
- polyester;
- pongee (combination of cotton and polyester);
- material with a top Teflon layer.
Handle material
Umbrella handle - it would seem that it can be important in this part of the product. However, when choosing an umbrella-cane, you must carefully select the handle. It is important that the handle is of a comfortable shape and size, suitable for the anatomical structure of the hand. Too heavy or too voluminous handle is inconvenient to use, the umbrella is hard to hold, the hand gets tired quickly.
The material from which this part of the umbrella is made also plays an important role. The most common models with plastic, wooden or rubberized handles.
The plastic version is the most widely used. However, it is also the most impractical. Despite the advantage of light weight, such handles can easily break or deform if dropped.
The wooden type is a more practical and reliable option. When choosing products with a wooden handle, you should give preference to those models where there is a varnish coating. If the pen is covered with bright paint and there is no top coat of varnish, then you should know that when moisture gets in, the paint can transfer to hands or clothes.
The rubberized version is considered the most ideal.Such a handle fits comfortably in the hand, does not slip, does not get wet.
Care and repair
Any accessory will serve for a fairly long period of time if properly cared for. In fact, the umbrella does not require any special care. If dirt gets on the dome, you can wipe it with a damp cloth or rinse under running water. Separately, it is worth noting that, unfortunately, most people dry their umbrellas incorrectly. Properly dry the umbrella in the closed or half-closed state. If dried open, the dome fabric will begin to stretch and sag a little over time, which will lead to the unusability of the product.
In the event of a breakdown, you should not make independent attempts to troubleshoot, it is better to take the accessory to a repair shop. Most often, spokes or fastenings at the joints break in umbrellas.
Brands
Today you will not surprise anyone with umbrellas of various colors, styles and even shapes. A wide range of goods offered is able to satisfy the needs of every customer, even if the girl wants the same umbrella "only with mother-of-pearl buttons." However, what should be considered first of all when choosing a women's cane umbrella? Quality! Unfortunately, not all manufacturing companies are worried about their reputation and produce products of excellent quality. Therefore, when choosing an umbrella, it is still worth looking closely at the goods of well-known brands. Branded items are often much more expensive, but as a result, the buyer wins, as he acquires a quality item that will last more than one season.
Umbrellas of such well-known brands as Three Elephants, Fulton, Doppler, Happy Rain, Trust, Zest, Nex, Perletti, Prize, Airton, Lulu Guinness and others are in high demand.
