Umbrella weather is officially here, and a good umbrella is an absolute essential once the rain starts. Keep the umbrella in your handbag, car or work bag so you’re ready whenever the rain suddenly appears.

Take the umbrella on the school run, carry the umbrella to work, or keep the umbrella ready for shopping when rain is forecast. Nobody wants to get caught in the rain without an umbrell
