Umbrella History

NATIONAL UMBRELLA DAY National Umbrella Day casts a little shade on February 10th. The day honors one of the world’s most useful inventions, the umbrella! #NationalUmbrellaDay Not only does the umbrella help keep us dry from the rain, but it also protects us from the heat of the sun. You can also use an umbrella as a fashion accessory. While the umbrella is primarily practical, they also decorate cocktails. These brightly colored paper umbrellas make fun party favors, especially when visiting sunny locations. Umbrellas have also found their way into the art world. Their color and shape make sharp silhouettes.
