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!

ReplyDeleteThese vintage umbrellas are absolutely stunning—each one really does feel like a little piece of wearable art. I was recently thinking about a 10,000 word dissertation structure, and this post oddly reminded me how beautiful things are when they’re thoughtfully layered, balanced, and built with intention over time.
