I love this. I live on the ocean and it blocks the sun as I walk the beach. It is beautiful and people have asked where did I get it, some have even asked if I would sell it...but I won't
I wanted a feminine, delicate-looking (yet sturdy) parasol to wear with Regency period costume. This fit the bill perfectly, and also looks smashing with modern-day clothes. And, of course, it keeps my fair skin cool and shaded from the summer sun.
