Looking to find a CLEAR and pocket sized umbrella
« on: July 25, 2011, 08:30:10 PM »
I need an umbrella for the new move to London. (my pink one broke blahh I didn't like it anyway.)

I am looking for a compact CLEAR umbrella now, not the walking stick kind where you cannot fit into your pocketbook or bag.

I can't find the clear ones that are this compact size or folding sized!  I CAN find the clear ones that are the bigger umbrellas but not the small compact ones.

any helpful hints where to find a clear sized mini umbrella that can fit in your bag?
(wondering why I cannot find pocket sized 'clear' umbrellas'

I found pocket sized umbrellas at tesco last year. Do you need them to be clear? The ones I saw were black and I believe polka dot.

yep, that is my dilemma... nothing is CLEAR and 'also' pocket sized.  I wonder why?


I can find alot of umbrellas that are not clear but they are designed with colour and pocketsized but curious why I cannot find clear ones that you can easily stick in your totebag... just strange

I don't think clear umbrellas are very common, full stop. I can barely ever remember seeing one.

I'd have a look through Amazon.co.uk.  I found that on the first or second page of "umbrellas".

I'd check this website out! If I liked using umbrellas, it'd be one of the places I'd go. Good luck!

There's this place, too.

http://www.james-smith.co.uk/index.cfm

I've never been in, but I've always wanted to.  It always seems to be closed when we are near there.  It's near Tottenham Court Tube.  You could ring them and ask if they do clear.  Even if they don't they might have a suggestion about where to look.

This one was at the bottom of the page. Looks a bit flimsy though  :-\\\\
