There are a few vintage finds that just thrill us Vixens... and
vintage umbrellas are near the top of the list. They never come in large quantities, so each one feels like a special treasure. Their fabrics and hand-painting are often exceptional. And the handles alone are sometimes like works of art, in twisted lucite, gnarled bamboo or modernist textured plastic.
The feel of using one during a summer storm is wonderfully chic, whether you're sheltered by a pagoda-shaped parasol or a Mod 1960s brollie in crystal-clear vinyl. And so many lend themselves as exquisite decor, propped in a corner or above the armoire until the skies darken. You'll be wishing for rain!
