My name is Capucine, I’m 28 and I’m a writer at Umbrella Paris. I love beautiful things, but I love them even more when they’re genuinely practical in everyday life — and umbrellas are a surprisingly good playground for that! In my articles, I take a close look at the different models, compare them and pay attention to all those little details you might not think about until you actually have an umbrella in your hands: how much it weighs in your bag, how comfortable it feels to hold, how it opens, the materials it’s made from, or how much space it takes up once folded. Here, I share what I learn, along with my advice and personal preferences, to help you find the umbrella that truly suits you.
