A stylish companion for rainy days
Carry this compact Marimekko umbrella when you want a rainday accessory with a design note all its own. According to the product page, its print is meant to echo the bluish tones of clouds, so rainy weather becomes part of the look. Simons' copy suggests it can turn heads even when it's raining—marketing flair, but it speaks to the umbrella's style-first intent.[1]
