Many people have had that frustrating experience in which their rain protection gear has been stolen on a particularly miserable day. The Lizard Umbrella is the sort of accessory that ought to be brought to cafes, restaurants and bars because it can be adjusted to appear as a pointless steal.
Once you've placed your parasol within a stand inside the front door of an establishment, simply press the button on the handle and it will eject the metal shaft. Take the handgrip with you and clip it carabiner-style to your belt loop or your bag. This leaves your umbrella looking broken and difficult to open, close and carry. The design by Kim Seokhui, Kim Dasol and Kim Seongjin ensures that you'll have your shelter with the Lizard Umbrella upon exiting, since no one will have wanted to take this curious tail-dropping contraption.
