Eco-Brolly

Eco-Brolly

Shiu Yuk Yuen has a yen for the environment, with the Eco Brolly umbrella design requiring the use of discarded newspapers as the canopy for your umbrella skeleton. Sounds good and all, but what happens when you don't have a roll of newspaper nearby? Surely you aren't going to step out into the rain and get all wet, are you? Second thing is, even if it is really sunny, a normal newspaper won't be able to really shield you from harmful UV rays and all.

Hi Shiu - We are very interested in selling your product in the UK. I work for one of the UK's largest online gadget retailers. Do you know who will be manufacturing these? Please let me know as soon as you can on the following email - bassed77@hotmail.com - we'd be very interested in stocking it.

Hi, i am the designer. I like to say thanks for posting my design. UV ray is a problem in summer, there is a UV solar fabric which you could use instead of newspaper, so that should solve the problem. Afterall, it is an eco-brolly, so you can use anything, not just newspaper.
