The ubiquitous umbrella cover is one of the first things to go upon the purchase of a new replacement. Then it is often the umbrella itself. Yet Nendo has created an umbrella cover that will be impossible to lose, even if a person really wanted to get rid of it somehow. It has been built right into the handle so that it can tuck away when not needed and taken out when it is.
Although some people might not find that umbrella covers are all that they're cut out to be, this will radically change their minds. More often than not, they are a nuisance. Yet when used as they should be, to contain the wet umbrella until it can be probably aired out, they are a godsend.
