Gina & May Well with all the rain we have had in the last week, I thought it timely to talk about umbrellas. I also need one myself, so I may as well share my discovery of these super stylish brollies. I am tired of always carrying the umbrella that has been dragged home by my husband after some promotional golf day, they are generally black with an insurance company logo splashed across the side. I am not sure if I lose them on purpose, or I am just forgetful (perhaps it’s both) none the less, I seem to be stuck with no umbrella. Not any more. Gina & May Designer umbrellas are my answer. Gina & May have created a boutique collection of umbrellas that speak to high quality and functionality. mybowerbird loves the wooden handle, and especially loves the compact size the umbrella can fold down to (folds down to 19cm). Perfect for the hand bag or storing in your glove box. Vibrant colours and graphic shapes. The simple, yet bold look of this playful range, make for a striking statement, particularly on a cold and miserable day, when a burst of colour can brighten up your day as well as passers-by. My biggest problem now, which one? Don’t wait until it rains and then wish you had of purchased one of them, have a look at the online store.
