FAQs
Is this umbrella windproof?
The fiberglass frame is designed to be more flexible and resilient against wind than standard metal frames, though it is not intended for storm-force gusts.
Does it come with a carrying case?
Yes, the umbrella includes a matching sleeve to keep it compact and organized in your bag.
How do I clean the canopy?
Use a damp cloth with mild water to wipe away dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the water-repellent coating.
Is the opening mechanism automatic?
No, this model features a reliable manual opening and closing system.
What is the weight of this umbrella?
The design is optimized for portability, making it lightweight and unobtrusive for daily carry in a handbag.
Can I fit this in a small clutch?
It folds to 24.5 cm, so it is best suited for standard handbags, totes, or backpacks rather than very small clutches.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella will not stay open
Ensure the slider is pushed all the way up until it clicks into the notch on the metal shaft.
Umbrella is hard to close
Ensure you are depressing the safety runner release button fully before pulling the canopy downward.
Fabric looks wrinkled
Smooth the folds out manually when collapsing the canopy to ensure it wraps tightly around the shaft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your umbrella lasts, always follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Drying: Always leave the umbrella open to dry completely before folding it back up; storing it while wet can lead to fabric degradation and frame rust.
- Manual Operation: When opening, ensure the slider clicks firmly into the locking notch; when closing, press the safety runner release gently before sliding the shaft down.
- Storage: Keep the umbrella in its provided sleeve when not in use to prevent snagging the fabric on keys or other items in your handbag.
- Compatibility: Its compact profile is compatible with nearly all medium-to-large handbags and laptop bags.
