I am in love with the Scalamandre Zebra Print Umbrella. It's a wonderful, happy print and ... I think I just have to have one!!
After some research I have uncovered a bit of history about this Scalamandre pattern. Story has it that the zebra print was first designed as a wall covering for Gino's Restaurant located in New York in the 1940's. It went out of print over the years and was recently re-introduced into their line.
The wall covering is available in five color ways; red, brown, yellow, green, and black. I adore the red!
And now, the pattern has been made into a wonderful umbrella that's available in two sizes. I had a peek at them in our local showroom. The travel size is just right for me.
No sad rainy days with this little number protecting you.
Just wondering how much they cost - really pretty!
