I purchased this at a specialty umbrella shop that used to be in Omotesando. I believe the shop was called miu, and a lovely woman handled imported umbrellas from Europe there. They carried only very high-end items, like incredibly beautiful parasols, the likes of which you wouldn't see even at department stores like Wako. I've parted with my lace parasols, and this is the last item I purchased from that shop. It's a smart umbrella from FOX Umbrellas of England, with a handle made of decorated horn. The color variations are natural, as they were from the beginning, but it's smoothly finished and has a slightly cool feel. I've forgotten the type of wood that connects to the handle, but it has a truly beautiful curve and is made of quality material. It was extremely expensive. I bought it as a vintage, unused item. The tassel is also original. It's an umbrella that exudes an elegance you don't find anymore. FOX umbrellas often have loose securing bands, but I didn't want it to spread out, so I stored it wrapped twice, anticipating it might stretch. Please be aware of that. I cherished it so much that I only used it about twice for special occasions, like jewelry exhibitions. There are no significant flaws. There may be very minor scratches from use, but I don't think you'll find another one like this. I'm selling it to declutter. I think it's in very good condition. Because it was expensive originally, I'm not considering lowering the price. - Design: Hook handle - Decoration: With tassel Thank you for looking.
