Unlike Mumbai,where a huge variety of trendy umbrellas flood the markets as soon as theres a hint of the monsoon,Delhi,despite the heat,just doesnt have a culture of flaunting the accessory,either to keep away the sun or rain. This year,however,many brands are sporting the umbrella. Within the first two days of our umbrellas hitting the stores,we sold over 10 percent of our stock, says Kunal Pant,Head – Design and Buying at s.Oliver,Delhi. So take your pick an ultra expensive,luxurious umbrella from Louis Vuitton,or a dazzling,mirror worked parasol from Janpath. The mens range at s. Oliver in Select Citywalk is offering a premium range of umbrellas (at Rs 1,750) to go with their formal suits for example the large- sized,grey,pin-striped umbrellas are replicas of the suits. Now heres hoping it rains down.
