You know what it’s like when you’ve just come in from the rain and your umbrella is spilling water all over the floor.
Well, designer Maria Oliveira claims this could soon be a thing of the past.
Her smart black ‘Olibrolly’ comes with a telescopic non-drip cover that slides out to contain the full length of the closed umbrella.
Maria said: “We all tend to apologise for bringing dripping umbrellas into shops, offices or friend’s homes – and get fed up with stashing rain-soaked brollies in our cars – or worse, our handbags.
“The Olibrolly is a simple solution – it’s our answer to the British weather.”
The lightweight umbrella (£15 from www.oliveira.uk.com) opens at the press of a button and spans a shower-busting 1.2m in diameter.
