Outside of Orla Kiely umbrellas (love the ones from the Tate), not many umbrellas on the market appeal to my sense of style. I can’t handle basic black (rain is sometimes dreary enough) and I don’t do red or bright blue, and certainly not rubber ducky yellow or houndstooth, so where does that leave a girl? Try shopping Tray 6. Stylish, affordable, and downright pretty umbrellas that will have you twirling around cobblestone streets singing your happy self into a coma. Well, perhaps not – but I’m sure you’ll at least enjoy having an umbrella that makes your day a little bit brighter…

I really do like these but I’m not sure how affordable $54 is for an umbrella…

Agreed! Very cute, but for someone who buys $5 umbrellas from the drug store, this is a bit steep.

Also, check out these fab mod Pare Umbrellas from a local company in Seattle. They are high quality and made in Japan. Being from Seattle, I splurged on one to make me happy on a rainy day (or week!)
