If Rihanna didn't make umbrellas cool, The Brelli ($28-$38) mos def does. The Brelli is made from bamboo, which is sustainable and a clear, biodegradable canopy, so the entire umbrella will completely biodegrade within five years when discarded. Considering how many nylon and plastic umbrellas I lose track of, and which probably make their way to a landfill somewhere, I think this is a great idea. But, the Brelli elli elli is so chic and functional looking, the thought of it decomposing kind of makes me sad, in a way. Aside from being the world's first 100 percent biodegradable umbrella, it's probably the only umbrella I'd be able to hold onto 'cause it's so darn striking.

Eh I'm not a fan...
1Very different!
2It is sorta pretty, but how would this hold up in heavy rains or heavy winds???
3Ooh. I've been in the market for a good umbrella and I adore this one. Thanks for the link!
4Love the intro to the website. Cool music and very cool umbrella.
5I love the umbrella, but this would never take San Francisco winds.
6Very pretty!
7i like the look of it but i find the big problem with umbrellas is the wind-factor..i see so many umbrellas on the side of the road when there is a heavy wind/rain. if this works as well (or better!) than those, i'd be very impressed. i guess what i am getting at is: even if this didn't stand up to the heavy wind/rain (not many umbrellas do!) it will biodegrade!
8It doesn't rain much in Arizona...but it's cute!
9I have had one of these for a year and the design is incredibly sturdy. I live in the SF Bay Area and the wind wouldn't do anything but blow this thing out of your hands. It's fabulous.
