Honeystore Lace Travel Parasol Folding Anti-uv Windproof Embroidery Umbrella

I adored this parasol that I bought for me to use at my sons wedding. It was beautiful and I received a lot of compliments. Its lined so it also is very practical at keeping the sun off. It makes me want to bring parasols into style for everyday use in my hot summers, high desert rural western united states town! My review is 4 stars because I dont know yet how it will hold up to regular use.

Im not sure that this parasol is going to last more than a few uses. It isnt made of the highest quality materials, but it is cute and functional. Nicely compact.

The parasol is quite cute, but the design is awful. The frame looks weak and seems like it would break after a few uses. Its really hard to open and even harder to close. You have to fold each rib one by one by hand. Had to send it back.

It is very pretty and works great as a sunshade. However, it was smaller than I anticipated and was a little disappointed with the curvature. It is not wide across and curves pretty far down. These two combined make it difficult to hold without feeling like you are in cave. IT seems to be made pretty sturdily and the pattern is gorgeous. I bought it for a gift and my mother is very happy with it.

Looks just like the picture! I find the double jointed folding a little tricky, but may just take getting used to.

Requirements: Attractive, goes with several outfits, easy to use, provides a physical sun screen. Pros: Sun shade, gorgeous, Im excited to use it. Cons: If youre not used to manually opening umbrellas/parasols it might take some practice and patience. Like I saw mentioned in other reviews, the grey does have a champagne undertone to the material underlying the lace cover. However I was prepared for that so it wasnt a surprise. (picture included) Also, as mentioned in other reviews, this parasol is completely manual when opening and closing. If youre used to umbrellas that open with the push of a button, I recommend opening and closing it at least once before you need to use it. Then youre not trying to figure it out in the sun. I found the easiest way to do it is open it partially and hold the shaft with your non-dominant hand while straightening the ribs until each one gently clicks in place (pictures included for reference). To collapse again, you have to decide whether you want to go as far as to fit the parasol back in the included case. If so you have collapse the parasol enough to unclip the ribs (similar as you did to open it), then neatly arrange the two layers of material to fold and roll along the length of the collapsed umbrella. Re-snap the strap and slip it back into the case while avoiding the draw strings. Yes, this takes some time. If you dont want to go through the effort, just leave the ribs snapped and ignore the case. The parasol has a gorgeous glitter that I adore, and as I said, I was prepared for the champagne tone based on other reviews. The inside of the parasol is opaque, but thats to be expected because its UV material designed to ideally act as a sun screen. Based on the construction, I would avoid using it in the rain. Im in California, so if Im using it for sun its not raining. If you live someplace with intermittent sun and summer rains, you would need an actual umbrella to stay dry. Rain might possibly damage the lace or glitter, Side note - it has a tassel on it which Ill probably remove because I dont think it will hold up long term. I hope this helps!

The Honeystore Lace Travel Parasol Folding Anti-uv Windproof Embroidery Umbrella is pretty and is good protections for sunny days.

bought this for my mom as a birthday gift; she cant be in the sun very much and shes very frilly and girly so the style was important. she absolutely loves it and it really does help protect her from the sun. the fact that it folds up makes it more portable too which is a huge bonus. shes so happy with it and i will definitely be buying another if she somehow manages to break it lol.

I gave it to a friend as a gift. She absolutely love it. Beautiful accessory. Plan on purchasing one for me.

Very lovely but its hard to open and close -- before open or close umbrella, each rib has to be straightened or folded. Also some of the threads are too loose and I am rather small in size but it doesnt cover much, only head. I wanted one that covers good portion of my body.
