I bought one of these umbrellas after buying one as a gift for my girlfriend last year, as I was impressed by the quality. Definitely the best umbrella I have ever owned, by a country mile. The button to open is an excellent feature, resulting in less fiddling about when the weather requires fast deployment! Aesthetically it recieves many compliments, and has a very fun and timeless style. I shall likely buy a few more in the future as I like to colour coordinate.
