The moment I saw this umbrella {pictured above} I instantly fell in love. At first glance I thought there were actual petals hanging down. How cheery would that have been? But even as is this fabulous umbrella would brighten up any grey day. In fact, I would pray for rain just for an excuse to stroll down the streets with this little beauty.

And what’s even better is that The Passionate Collector has so many more to choose from that are all equally as fabulous as this Brown with Gold Flower Umbrella. You’ve got your animal prints, your bold + bright colors, your more subdued tones with subtle accents. I secretly–or not so secretly–want them all, and I’m not usually one to gush over an umbrella. Oh, did I even mention the fact that they are each custom handmade in Italy? They truly are a work of art!
