Fashion Design-Undercover Umbrella

An undercover umbrella!? The umbrella is not my design, that part I bought. But the original case that came with the umbrella was not very well constructed, so after it fell apart I decided to make a sturdier case using leather.

The leather case is quite simple, a leather tube tapered at one end with a drainage hole at the end. An attached shoulder strap so that the umbrella can be easily carried when not in use and the case can be kept over a shoulder when the umbrella is needed. The leather is treated, and natural wear has brought out the natural brown of the material.

Plus, it’s great fun to walk down the street with everyone thinking you have a katana (samurai sword) slung over your shoulder.
