I'm singing in the rain


I have literally been waiting my whole life to find an umbrella that can withstand incessantly bad English weather and the Japanese typhoon season. The "Senz" umbrella was designed by Gerwin Hoogendoorn, Gerard Kool and Philip Hess from the Netherlands. It involved a lot of technical research and hence can withstand windspeeds up to 70mph. It has also won Time Magazines Best Invention award. Sold by Merchant No.4 who are a very selective online design shop that has SUCH nice stuff.

Dolly the Sheep gets a better look

Love Ben Schlitter's Matryoshka icons.

"Rainy day" Matryoshka has managed to find an umbrella that fits her head perfectly, even James Smith, on New Oxford Street in London and the best umbrella shop in the world don't customise to that extent. Thanks Swiss Miss
