$1,650 umbrella and it's not even water proof
« on: May 19, 2022, 06:40:30 PM »
Sure they'll still sell a bunch to idiots who just want to look rich
To me this is a perfect example of what is wrong with the high dollar high fashion product mentally   
Meanwhile my $10 Costco umbrella is perfectly water proof  :P

Pay that much for a parasol, you deserve to be disappointed.

If I pay that much for a parasol, I expect to be flying alongside Mary Poppins and have a delightful Cockney accent.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Those umbrellas are the type of product I wouldn't buy even if I were one of the Forbes 400.   :facepalm:
