The Samurai Mini retracts to a compact 16" for those occasions which warrant a more stealthy display.  Samurai Umbrellas from Kikkerland Design are of excellent quality and craftsmanship.  The weight is balanced to provide maximum comfort and ease of mobility. Durable materials are made to withstand the elements, so when rain approaches (should it dare!), you will be prepared to draw your sword - I mean umbrella - and meet it head-on. 

Everyone needs an umbrella - why not have the coolest one around !
