Cheery blue stripes are sure to keep the grey skies away. At about half a foot unopened, this small Marimekko Piccolo Mini Manual Umbrella is easily kept in a purse, briefcase, backpack, or glove compartment so you're never caught uncovered in unexpected rain. Manually opening and closing, the canopy of this Marimekko umbrella is decorated in alternating shades of blue and stretches more than three feet in diameter. Designer Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi first created this Piccolo pattern in 1953, and it has represented Marimekko's legacy of iconic stripes ever since.
