Family umbrella

If you need an original and necessary gift for a wedding anniversary, housewarming, birthday, New Year or other occasion, then you can turn your attention to a family umbrella. This is a very unusual and fashionable accessory today that allows you to walk with great comfort in the rain with your soul mate.

Surely everyone knows how uncomfortable it is to walk next to a person when umbrellas interfere with each other, raindrops fall on clothes, the mood deteriorates, you want to quickly run home, instead of taking a romantic walk together. For such cases, they came up with models that can be found in stores under the names dualbrella, lovers umbrella or an umbrella for two.

What is the difference between a converging umbrella and conventional models? Of course, by its size and shape.

It is designed so that two people will hide under it at once. Such a model will be an excellent present not only for your loved one on Valentine's Day, March 8 or February 23. Such an original umbrella can be presented to your best friend or, for example, twins.

Moreover, the range of such products offers a wide range of colors. Girls can choose pink or red umbrellas, boys - blue or green.

Some models are made in a combination of two contrasting colors, such an umbrella looks even more original and unusual.

Double umbrellas are slightly larger than single umbrellas, but that's okay. Folding models can always be compactly placed in a bag and in a purse.

Modern designers offer different models of family umbrellas, among which several especially popular ones can be distinguished:

The most stylish and elegant model. Has one, two handles or a common double. Outwardly, it resembles two umbrellas connected to each other.

The usual model, only made in an enlarged version.

Under the dome of such a huge umbrella, two or even three people can easily fit. Most often, such models are made automatic or semi-automatic, so that you can quickly open the accessory when going outside. The umbrella can have a round or oval dome shape.

A very popular model today. For its manufacture, durable polyethylene is used. Such an accessory is often complemented by decorative ornaments and is part of the wedding image of the newlyweds.

Most often you can find family umbrellas made in monochrome, for example, black, blue, gray, red, yellow, which are universally suitable for both men and women.

Another option is a transparent model, which looks more advantageous due to its "invisibility".

And another popular option is the "rainbow" umbrella. A great way to cheer yourself up and your soul mate on a cloudy and rainy day.

Sometimes you can find combined umbrellas, decorated with stripes of black and white, blue and white and other colors. Or a double umbrella, where each half is made in its own color scheme.

Choosing a family umbrella is generally not much different from choosing a regular rain protection accessory.

• To begin with, it is worth deciding on the model, will it be a mechanical cane or an automatic model? The first option is more practical and elegant, the second is more convenient and comfortable. The cane looks more solid, but the folding umbrella is lighter and more compact.

• Colour... If the umbrella is purchased for a married couple, then the color scheme should be as neutral as possible in order to suit both people. Usually this is a classic - black, gray, beige, purple, white umbrella. You can opt for a transparent or multi-colored model that is fashionable today.

• There may be several options for handles. It can be bent (such an umbrella is convenient to carry on the hand, but difficult to hide in a bag) or with a knob. It can be made of wood (more expensive and presentable), plastic, metal, rubber. It can be austere or beautifully decorated (for example, you can purchase a model with an illuminated handle). And, finally, the handle can be one for 2 umbrellas, be doubled (when each dome has its own handle, and they merge into one) or two separate ones.

• The number of folds (the more there are, the more compact the umbrella becomes). When choosing a model, you should pay attention to both the frame and the material from which the dome is made. More durable and stronger metal or fiberglass knitting needles. They are much more reliable than plastic and aluminum spokes, which can bend in the wind. The number of needles matters too. A family umbrella must support at least 10-12 pieces.

• A variety of waterproof materials are used for the dome, such as polyester or nylon. You can often find models with a special Teflon impregnation, which can significantly increase the service life of the accessory.

• Before buying, it is imperative to check the quality of workmanship: the folding-opening mechanism should not jam, the seams should be even, the threads should not stick out, and the fabric should not wrinkle. All these little things can negatively affect the operation.

• If you plan to purchase an expensive, high-quality gift, then it is better to pay attention to the collections of well-known world brands, which are of high quality and stylish, original design.

• In order for such an umbrella to retain its properties and impeccable appearance for a long time, it needs proper and constant care. It must be dried in a half-open state, not next to the heating devices, but freely hanging on the door handle or hook.

• If the umbrella is dirty, you can clean it with a sponge soaked in soapy water. Then it must be rinsed well and left to dry.
