# Folded Floral Umbrellas This Spiral Patterned Rose Umbrella Folds Up to Unveil a Flowery Design By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-05-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-umbrella References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/383676951287566537/Rosella-Umbrella-by-Alluy) & [vespoe](http://www.vespoe.com/alluy/shop/rose-umbrella-rosella-pink) Tie dye and florals come together beautifully in this rose umbrella design. Conceived by Alluy, the Rosella Umbrella looks like a rose when folded up and creates a pretty [spiral pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flore) when unfolded. Instead of giving off a hippie vibe, these clever parasols are feminine and romantic. The rose umbrella comes in three different colors: pink, purple and blue. The three simple circles create the dewey floral appearance when the otherwise ordinary umbrella is not in use. The colored rings are on a white backdrop, so the pattern is not too busy. Intended to bring cheer to [rainy days](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-duckhead), the umbrella design also offers perspective. Forcing you to examine all the possibilities, this umbrella design proves there is often more to something than meets the eye. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Floral Umbrella Designs:** Designing floral patterns for everyday items such as umbrellas for aesthetic appeal and tie-ing up hippie culture with femininity. - **Spiral Patterned Products:** Creating spiral or twisted designs on everyday items to make them more eye-catching and interactive for customers. - **Multipurpose Products:** Creating designs that can be enjoyed both for functionality as well as their visual appeal and aesthetic value. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessories:** Developing trendy and unique patterns for everyday accessories like umbrellas, bags, and scarves to add visual appeal to general merchandise items. - **Home Goods:** Designing home products with unique, eye-catching patterns to create a sense of individualism and personalization in each piece. - **Gift and Souvenir:** Designing unique patterns on practical gift and souvenir items like umbrellas to increase their appeal as both practical items and mementos of special occasions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Dual Functioning Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulasol.md) - [Disappearing Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coilo.md) - [Rainwater Multifunctional Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raindrop-1.md) - [Artist-Designed Umbrella Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shed-rain-artist-series.md) - [Designer-Approved Vibrant Weather Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-weather-accessories.md) - [OLED Weather Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-umbrella.md) - [Umbrella-Inspired Whimsical Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasaga-lamp.md) - [Flying Umbrella Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-umbrella.md) - [Branch-Like Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aghsan.md)
