The "protective roof" against sun and wind gained rain resistance thanks to different covering fabrics. The proven principle has survived to the present day. What has changed are the designs, the technical quality and the materials. Today, purist printed umbrellas, strikingly designed promotional umbrellas, umbrellas with a logo or pieces with artistic designs are offered in great variety. In our highly technological age, is the umbrella really still relevant and suitable for everyday use?
Umbrellas are still the best protection against rain
No rain protection prevents your head and upper body from getting wet as effectively as the traditional umbrella. And unlike when using plastic hoods, your hairstyle is not crushed but stays well protected from wind and weather. On the one hand, an umbrella should offer immediate protection in the rain; on the other, the rest of the time it should be slim, small and easy to stow away. These are exactly the advantages offered by the folding umbrella. That is why it remains ever-present. Small pocket umbrellas are used as an "emergency roof", while elegant walking-stick umbrellas also fulfil the function of an interesting accessory. On a stroll through town, on a walk, on the way to the office and even on mountain hikes, umbrellas do a good job. As a folding model, they fit into any handbag and any backpack.
Elegant or funny designs that catch the eye
Not only as a highly practical but also as a stylish accessory, the umbrella is moving into the spotlight of fashion. Whether as a colourfully printed umbrella, kept discreetly in black or grey, stylishly designed in an unusual look or as a promotional umbrella with a punchy colour scheme, umbrellas are excellent for accentuating any look and contribute to a harmonious overall impression. That is why many people even own several pieces in different colours. Printed umbrellas in colourful variations bring a spark to rainy days. Anyone who wishes can even have their own individual umbrella printed to their own design. Companies like to give away an umbrella with a logo as a successful advertising tool, and an interestingly designed promotional umbrella from www.schirmmacher.com is always an eye-catcher.
May I take your arm, Madame...
What could be more charming than going for a walk in the rain? Two together under a protective roof, that is how many a romance has begun. A kindly offered place under the umbrella is more than welcome in rainy weather. Anyone who is prepared for every eventuality makes a gallant impression, comes across as confident and shows foresight. It is well worth taking an umbrella along or at least keeping one in the car just in case.
Give away clouds, starry skies, rainbows or umbrellas with a logo
The umbrella is still a success story, without which some people would not even leave the house. The many designs make you want more. A gift idea for original presents are interestingly printed umbrellas, designed for example in the recipient's favourite colours and motifs. Huge, standard-sized or extra small, for every event www.schirmmacher.com has the solid-coloured or colourfully printed umbrella that fits the situation perfectly.
