Honeystore Princess Lace Ultraviolet-Proof Folding Umbrella Anti-uv Dome Parasol

I wanted to love this. I tried! I really wanted a UV parasol to protect my fair skin from the searing heat of our Texas summers, but that still had the flexibility for when storms hit with sudden downpours. I usually just walk through the rain, but the evil day-star and I are not friends. The material is less the lightweight, water-proof standard umbrella fabric and more vinylized. There is a sorta cute pattern screened into the inside of the umbrella, so when it is fully opened, or even closed, you see a faux-fabric/trim design. I may have tolerated these aspects, but the handle was awkward to hold (not even in adverse conditions) onto, and the bulkiness of the double-folding design doesnt close/fold neatly. I had to manipulate the material to get the velcro closure lined up. Then I had to cup the spines in my hand to line up with the handle/cup to securely close it. I felt like it didnt wrap neatly closed, it tended to be lopsided and off-center. Maybe this would get better with practice. It has a little carrying bag with handles to transport it or store it between uses.

This umbrella came too late, so I had to return it. I did notice it was very pretty, femine, true to color and well made. What I didn’t like was that you could see the black UV fabric through the pink fabric.

I use this product to protect myself from sunburns since I burn easily. I love how easy it is to carry around in its own bag. It is well worth the price

Very beautiful and great parasol. I used this on my trip to Disney World in Florida. The heat was still intense, but it definitely gave me a lot of shade. It helped me keep the sun out of my eyes as well. Not only that, its compact and cute. I will say that its a bit difficult wrapping it up with its strap, but after some getting used to (and a bit of strength) you can close it. I will just say as a warning to people ordering this, there is a chance you will get a parasol that doesnt open up all the way. I had to return a previous one due to that. Regardless, I would still order from here. You also get a cute bracelet (or some other free gift) as a free gift. The handle at the bottom might pop off if you spin it too much, but it can be easily screwed back into place. I loved this parasol, and I will likely be using it from outings. The material is nice, and it can suit the rain, although I have not used it in rain yet. Update as of August 28, 2017 I ended up using this parasol in the rain on my way back from Florida. There was a windy storm during the trip back. It held up well and protected from the rain just as well as a regular umbrella. I really love this umbrella, its cute and useful!

For the price it is better than expected, feels sturdy and folds very small. I did find one pinhole sized hole on the inside lining but it is nothing difficult to quickly patch and hardly visible, the fact I saw it at all was a fluke. It is nice and thick and should definitely hold up in rain or a little bit of wind, but certainly nothing extremely strong. I imagine it would struggle in high winds like most. The lace was neat and clean cut and it looks very cute. Handle seems roughed up. For some reason there was a very cute tiny bracelet in my box as well for this with a kiwi slice charm on it?? No idea if this was meant to be in there or not but I wont complain!!

New umbrella I love the color if its over me perfectly I like the darkness inside or whatever that material is it smells horrible it took me a minute to figure out how to close it it comes with no instructions but theres a lot way up at the top that you have to press to make it close I really dont care for the carrying case for it you know because its small and if it can fit in your purse but with that satin-covered thing its not really practical you know regular cover umbrella cover would have suited just fine I gave it a 4 because of of that awful smell it Horrible the color is Baby Blue

You want a sun proof umbrella this is it. You want a water proof umbrella this is it. You want to look like you walked right out of a gothic catalog this umbrella is your man. Fan of anime and want to look super Kawii? This umbrella no joke. I can’t begin to say how many complements I have gotten with it. I bought it when it was still raining locally and this umbrella took the storm and did so in style. Now that It is hot as all hell outside this umbrella is still rock able. The little lace detail gives it such a unique look to it. I enjoy the versatility of this umbrella but I also secretly love the hand bag it came in. All of the umbrellas I have owned in the past just had a Velcro wrap that would hold the umbrella in place when it wasn’t being used. (this on also has that feature) but this umbrella went a step forward and gave me a cute little waterproof bag to keep it in that has lace to match the umbrella itself. Over all I love this umbrella and would recommend though I will give the warning of this is a black umbrella so if you’re getting it to hide from the heat be aware black + sun = hot even in shade.

The only reason i dont give 5 is its a 3fold instead of 2 fold style so its a little hard to get put away ans folded up properly.

Statement piece that comes with a carrying case that looks like a very small elegant purse. I was impressed at first glance and continued once I used it in the blazing sun on a Riverwalk one after noon. Too pretty for the rain just yet, but if need be Id get it wet.

I saw this and decided to take a chance on it. Ive had the one Ive been using for a few years now (originally purchased 2019) and let me tell you, this poor little umbrella has been through it. Dropped, tossed, stepped on, left in the car or ages, crushed under things, and it is still going strong. Per my personal style, I sewed fringe on around the outer edge and I get endless compliments on it every time I take it out. The UV protection has saved me time and again at the pool, the beach, on walks and at festivals downtown, because I burn easily. Take a chance on this umbrella, I dont think youll be sorry!!
