# Lettuce-Like Umbrellas This Cute Umbrella by Koncent Resembles a Head of Lettuce By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-05-10 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cute-umbrella References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/365511/Wacky-Japanese-Design-An-Umbrella-That-Looks-Like-A-Head-Of-Crisp-Green-Lettuce/) & [japantimes.co.jp](http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2014/05/05/style/classic-home-products-get-quirky-updates/) This quirky and cute umbrella has a wrinkled green texture and subtle changes in tones that make it look like a head of lettuce when it's all rolled up. To perfect the illusion, the umbrella's strap is made to look like a colorful elastic band that holds the fresh leaves together. The aptly named 'Vegetabrella' is an umbrella design from Koncent and the charming lettuce-like umbrellas even come packaged in a box just like the way you might get a delivery of groceries to your door. The fascination with vegetable fashion and accessories is pretty strong in Japan but luckily, this is one green accessory that won't mind getting a little wet from a sprinkling of water when it rains—to keep it looking its freshest. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Quirky Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for innovative designs of fashion accessories that have unique and unconventional features. - **Novelty Packaging:** Opportunity to create packaging that complements the product and enhances the overall customer experience. - **Nature-inspired Designs:** Opportunity to incorporate natural elements and textures into product designs for a visually appealing and unique aesthetic. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessory:** Opportunity for fashion accessory companies to create and market unconventional and eye-catching designs. - **Packaging Industry:** Opportunity for packaging companies to develop creative and innovative packaging solutions that enhance the appeal and functionality of products. - **Design and Decor Industry:** Opportunity for designers and decor companies to incorporate nature-inspired elements into their products for a fresh and unique aesthetic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Inspired Folding Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloombrella.md) - [Rainwater Multifunctional Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raindrop-1.md) - [Umbrella-Resembling Playful Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rain-man-lamp.md) - [Connected Dual Functioning Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulasol.md) - [Chic Celery-Shaped Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moschino-clutch.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Expertly Crafted Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-green-umbrella.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetment-vegetable-cultivator.md) - [Duck Down-Filled Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-duckhead.md)
