# Drip-Free Umbrellas Lolli-Simone Creates a Sleek and Deceptive Design By Meghan Young | Published 2014-08-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashionable-dripfree-umbrellas References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1865649344/lolli-simone-fashionable-and-drip-free-umbrella) Although umbrellas are such a necessary item that people are willing to tote around a standard, possibly even ugly design, these fashionable drip-free umbrellas are a great alternative. Sleek and deceptively designed, they look more like a baton or container than a shield from rain or sunshine. Designed by Michael of Lolli-Simone, the fashionable drip-free umbrellas are available in a range of bright colors including blue, orange, pink and green. They come in a plastic sheath that collects the water neatly. They also ensure that the container isn't lost like the typical fabric ones.
