Different forms of umbrella

Once you know what style of umbrella you want to find, you still have to select its shape. Most of the umbrellas are straight or folding.


Right umbrella: an timeless classic

Straight umbrellas consist of a rigid rod, as well as a play of whales. These are folded down along the mast after use.

Transparent umbrella: the touch of originality

Transparent umbrellas are fashionable accessories. The principle is simple: instead of being in opaque fabric, the canvas is made of translucent PVC. This robust material houses you rain, but lets light pass. Thus, you contemplate the sky and the landscape in all circumstances, whatever the weather.

On the majority of transparent umbrella models, the dome is bordered by a white or black strap. For a more feminine rendering, the canvas can sometimes be decorated with black or multicolored patterns. These elegantly contrast with the translucent canvas.

Like all other umbrellas, transparent umbrellas unfold manual or automatically. Their closure device is working by hand, or with a button.

Folding umbrella: the compact accessory

Folding umbrellas resemble conventional models, but their mast is retractable. In addition, the lower section of the whales folds outwards. Thus, once closed, the foldable umbrella occupies little space.


Inverted umbrella: clever find

Upplusions upside down are provided with a double-to-where inverted opening device, compared to ordinary models. The canvas exposed to humidity folds inwards, and does not stretch the ground.
