Or a Wangkerchief?

Kent laughed at wangerchief.

I don'tunderstand parasol?

I own a cheap brolly, except it's a bit bent where I wacked the SUV while in a crosswalk .

I only own squares from Mssrs Wang and Hober and a few vintage ones. Noina Hober's sewing is incredibly fine and the corners neatly beveled. Kent's are more robustly sewn and the corners butted together.Both have very tight, neat rolls.

David adjusts dimensions by fabric. Kent has been making a pretty  standard 12"x12" until people asked about different sizing, which he will do.

Both concerns offer  selections of both classic and unusual materials. David is working on improving his online visuals. Unless you request a swatch, odds are a material may look different than imagined. It's happened to me, but I was still delighted by the end result.

David's packaging is superb and looks like a 19th century shipping box offloaded from a East India merchant ship for a standard fee and requires signing on delivery.

With Wangerchiefs, I found my first ENVELOPE secreted by some gremlin inside a supermarket flyer and it almost got tossed.  In the envelope the square is neatly folded between parchment paper. I've just learned to examine my mail more thoroughly.

Both have very fair pricing starting @ $20-$25 vs some well known names. And both are uncommon enough to give you a  individual look.

Best of all, they're both good online friends I hope to meet someday.
