Jolly brollies by London Undercover

Why does it always rain on me? 'Cos I live in England, that's why. London, to be exact. But I can keep those raindrops from falling on my head with London Undercover's range of jolly brollies that have restored the humble umbrella as the quintessentially British fashion statement it used to be.

All of their umbrellas are made from recycled materials, meaning not only can you protect your hair but the environment, too.

You don't have to live in London to take cover under iconic images like this:

Fish & Chips umbrella (wrapped in newspaper, of course).

A mouthwatering full English Breakfast trimmed with a classic gingham table-cloth check.

And if looking up into the foodie-themed linings of the previous two brollies will just make you ravenous with hunger, try The Commuter: a smart navy pinstripe umbrella lined with the cult District Line & Circle Line Tube and Bus seat pattern from the 1970s.

The Classic umbrellas cost £60 each and the Slim Walkers cost £50, all available from London Undercover.

Open one of these brollies next time it rains and you'll be showered with compliments.

Summer-must have? The humble umbrella.ella.ella.

Well it looks like Summer's must-have accessory is......the brolly. It's quite depressing isn't it! Most of us end up owning brollies after we get caught out and then have to run into the nearest Boots and end up snaffling the closest black umbrella shaped object we can find (whilst simultaneously tying to avoid those hideous Winnie the Pooh or Disney ones they smuggle in amongst the plain black ones). Whilst we all know that black is a wardrobe staple; goes with anything, slimming, yada yada yada...do we really need to all get black brollies? I quite fancy this ironic little number, yours from Umbrella Art for £17.99.



Fancy going a bit more high fashion? Then for just £10 you can get your very own limited edition Eley Kishimoto iconic 'flash' print umbrella!


However I think my own personal favourite, and perfect for 'summer rain' is going to be courtesy of our friends at Cath Kidston. This jolly brolly is £20 and I think it's blooming ace!
