Squidarella

After living in both London and Vancouver, an umbrella has become a regular accessory for me. But black umbrellas are oh-so boring, which is why I was super excited to come across this new, interesting and colorful umbrella:

the dry Squidarella

A Squidarella is a color changing umbrella. It starts with a black and white design, but each drop of rain that falls on it reveals the bright colours underneath until the whole design is transformed. The technology behind the ink used to create this umbrella is quite fascinating - the ink is responsible for the color morphing and is truly one of a kind. Squidarellas have been picked up both by the Tate Modern in London and the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.

This particular pattern is called the "Bird Squirt Squidarella" (USD38.00).
