Mini Umbrellas from LeSportsac

LeSportsac has been a favorite since the 70s, and even the newest bag arrivals (like those in the Designer Collection by Stella McCartney, Jonathan Adler, Diane von Furstenberg, tokidoki and GwenStefani) give us an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. Like the bags, the accessories line is lightweight, travel-friendly, durable and fun, and includes these mini umbrellas, now in four (non-"Designer") designs.

Specs:
11.75 x 2.5 in, 29.85 x 6.35 cm
42 inch canopy
3-section shaft, auto open/manual close
Black rubber handle
100% lightweight polyester canopy and case

i was just looking at these online the other day for my wife.

any photos of it folded down or folded dimensions. I'd like for it to be pretty small and handy.

The description doesn't give the weight - and that's a big part of what makes a mini-umbrella useful - being able to slip it into a pocket without distorting the jacket. I have a heavy duty Gustbuster for days when rain is forecast and a really lightweight Totes umbrella for "chance of showers" days.

hi jmorey and feathers: i was in the LeSportsac store the other day and although i can't tell you the exact weight or folded down dimensions, i picked one up and it seemed very light and compact (similar to a Totes)...i'm sure you could call any local store to find out specifics!

i love my gustbuster as well. it's what always comes to work with me, but my wife likes them a little smaller. i just hate getting wet.
