Umbrellas and parasols can be found all over the world from the corner shop to every corner of art and culture. They can be found in iconic movie scenes from "Mary Poppins" to "Singin' in the Rain" to "My Neighbor Totoro". They show up In paintings like "Paris Street; Rainy Day" by French artist Gustave Caillebotte. They even emblazon memorable advertisements like Parapluie-Revel and the famous Morton Salt girl. Miniature versions can be found in our tropical drinks, while giant ones adorn our warm sandy beaches.
