These umbrellas had been an objet du désir for me for a while and I ordered this beautiful Zodiac Duckhead when in London this August. Very few umbrellas (or maybe none) can survive the Istanbul wind and rain without a scratch, my Original Duck Umbrella proved its worth in every sense of the word (knocking on wood!), it's durable, resistant, flexible in the best possible way. The pattern is pretty, print is high quality and lively in colour. Dries very quickly, even after a heavy rain... I am also very happy that I own an eco-friendly, sustainable, ethically handmade umbrella. I dream of ordering other prints, as well, as I am obsessed with the different beak colours of the ducks and the new print patterns...
