The folding umbrella is an incredibly useful and quite simple way of protecting us from the elements, but after making it in from the rain they can be a bit messy and tedious to store. The POPI umbrella provides a simple solution for quick, dry, and easy storage. The handle doubles as sealable housing making it possible to store anywhere, even when wet! Simply pop the cap to release or contain the umbrella, throw it in your bag, and be on your way.

This umbrella is great, the japanese one is ugly this one is very cool and stylish
This is great! But wouldn’t bacteria be prompted to grow in a sealed and moist environment like that?
This solution is so stunning! simple but very effective! sometimes the best idea are under our eyes but only few people are able to see them!
Very elegant umbrella.
