Umbrellas

Handbag umbrellas and long-handled ones, with Perletti as the main supplier. The 54-centimetre manual folding model is the most common and fits any backpack; the automatic version opens at the push of a button, and the 45-centimetre children's size has rounded tips and dinosaur, racing car or pirate prints. There are also clear dome models and the Mary Poppins umbrella with its parrot handle.
