Not that I’m a sing-in-the-rain type, but it’s somewhat difficult to get excited about umbrellas. Most of the time they are unremarkable, utilitarian objects that live in the entry closet. However the quasi-gothic, heritage-inspired umbrella collection from Archer Adams is a totally different story.
Every piece in the series features a natural black lacquered birch stalk, a robust locking mechanism, and a 100% nylon tonal printed canopy. The best part however is the wide spectrum of silver-plated heads available. In addition to the ones pictured, you can also find a serpent, skull, Swarovski crystal, eagle, leopard, Labrador, lizard skin, toucan, or frog to adorn the handle.
Take a gander at some detail shots in the gallery below. Also be sure to check out the other articles available at Archer Adams. You’ll find lots of exclusives and one-of-a-kind pieces in their online collection.
