My favourite umbrella is inarguably a Paul Smith walking stick umbrella, piped with his signature stripes, that I invested in some years ago. A new variation from the British designer, a Union Jack Umbrella, may soon sit along side it in my hall way.

Again in walking stick size, this Paul Smith Union Jack umbrella features a fully wooden stem and handle, with a patterned Union Jack lining providing that true Paul Smith touch.
It's available from Coggles.

Traditionalist and futurist are two of the labels applied to Daniel, but he sees the two as being in perfect balance. With a keen eye on the future and his finger on the pulse he helps keep fashionisers everywhere ahead in the fashion stakes as Fashionising.com's lead fashion trend analyst. Believing that the late-2000s credit crisis will be ultimately good for fashion, Daniel sees a future for fashion where grounded in traditional values; where luxury fashion again comes to represent quality production as opposed to being solely label driven.
