Umbrellas can be more of a hassle than a godsend, so the Recycling Zychal may come in handy. A collection of hoods for humans and raincoats for dogs, they provide fashionable protection from wetness, while not breaking down mid-walk.
Made from umbrellas and other vintage materials, the Recycling Zychals are designed by Taryn Zychal and her team. Based in Philadelphia, they live by the motto "No Broken Umbrella Left Behind." How fitting.
