Honeystore Lace Travel Parasol Folding Anti-uv Windproof Embroidery Umbrella

I like the look of the umbrella overall and the vibe it gives out. However, this is not an umbrella you want to use every time it rains or to for sun protection. Not lying but the thing broke the SECOND time we opened it! Please fix the mechanics of this product for a better review. For now its UNDER ONE STAR for me!

Love this product because it really is good. I dont feel the heat coming from the sun at all. The shade is cooling and better than the hat.

Nice

This umbrella is not only beautiful but very well made. It has worked wonderfully.

I absolutely LOVE this parasol. I take it nearly everywhere with me. During the summer, it feels at least 10 degrees cooler under this umbrella. I see others around me melting while I stroll around in the shade. LOVE IT so much, I bought one for my daughter who kept stealing mine.

I gave it to a friend as a gift. She absolutely love it. Beautiful accessory. Plan on purchasing one for me.

I want to love this, really. The concept is great, however the way that this opens is different from typical umbrellas/parasols. The fabric was also very stiff and I thought I was sure to break it before I got it open. The handle is also uncomfortable, so I may create a custom handle before the summer sun returns. I bought it because of a lightning deal and did not do research before purchasing.

This was a gift and the girl loves it. It opens different from other umbrellas but works get. No more sun burn

Requirements: Attractive, goes with several outfits, easy to use, provides a physical sun screen. Pros: Sun shade, gorgeous, Im excited to use it. Cons: If youre not used to manually opening umbrellas/parasols it might take some practice and patience. Like I saw mentioned in other reviews, the grey does have a champagne undertone to the material underlying the lace cover. However I was prepared for that so it wasnt a surprise. (picture included) Also, as mentioned in other reviews, this parasol is completely manual when opening and closing. If youre used to umbrellas that open with the push of a button, I recommend opening and closing it at least once before you need to use it. Then youre not trying to figure it out in the sun. I found the easiest way to do it is open it partially and hold the shaft with your non-dominant hand while straightening the ribs until each one gently clicks in place (pictures included for reference). To collapse again, you have to decide whether you want to go as far as to fit the parasol back in the included case. If so you have collapse the parasol enough to unclip the ribs (similar as you did to open it), then neatly arrange the two layers of material to fold and roll along the length of the collapsed umbrella. Re-snap the strap and slip it back into the case while avoiding the draw strings. Yes, this takes some time. If you dont want to go through the effort, just leave the ribs snapped and ignore the case. The parasol has a gorgeous glitter that I adore, and as I said, I was prepared for the champagne tone based on other reviews. The inside of the parasol is opaque, but thats to be expected because its UV material designed to ideally act as a sun screen. Based on the construction, I would avoid using it in the rain. Im in California, so if Im using it for sun its not raining. If you live someplace with intermittent sun and summer rains, you would need an actual umbrella to stay dry. Rain might possibly damage the lace or glitter, Side note - it has a tassel on it which Ill probably remove because I dont think it will hold up long term. I hope this helps!

love it
