The Brelli Sustainable, Stylish & Sturdy Umbrella

This eco-friendly umbrella is made to last and it's made from recyclable materials, but the designers made it completely biodegradable just incase it still ends up in a landfill.  Made from bamboo, a plant that is naturally good at weathering a storm, it should hold up in some of the roughest conditions.  Instead of the traditional dark nylon canopy the Brelli boasts a patent pending clear canopy that is completely biodegradable.  Taking it a step further, they made sure to use materials that release only harmless gas when they do biodegrade.  The result is a durable and beautiful umbrella you wont want to throw out, but one that wont harm the planet if you do.

The Brelli is available in a small 35" model and a large 52" model.

    [...] This weeks half baked biscuit: umbrellas!  INVEST IN A GOOD UMBRELLA or else, you will be blown the $&!? away. Monday morning rained a bit and when I stepped out to grab some lunch, it was POURING sheeps and cows…so I grabbed some random umbrella that had been hanging on my coat stand and OUT I WENT. I think it would have been easier to walk to my car without an umbrella…the wind was blowing so hard it flipped my umbrella inside out and basically formed a large tulip that started to collect water…not to mention I was attempting to  WALK AROUND WITH SHARP PIECES OF METAL PERILOUSLY CLOSE TO OTHER PEOPLE’S EYE LEVEL…YES, i had to change my outfit, YES i had to re-do my make up, and YES i was pissed and hungry, which is WHY, i went out and bought a legit Brelli Umbrella.
