Let’s be honest, most guys don’t want to use an umbrella. Well when I say “most guys,” I’m really talking about myself. Carry-along canopies are cumbersome and not an accessory that I HAVE to own. And I’m not one for superstition, but it is well known that opening one indoors will lead to seven-years bad luck.
That was before I saw the Paradise umbrella from Akomplice.
From the outside it looks like a standard umbrella. Black exterior, retractable water repellent material, classic hooked handle. Doubles as a fencing sword. But stand beneath it, and you will bathe in the glory of its true appearance. It’s the unassuming façade of a neighborhood restaurant with a secret, back-alley entrance for those looking for a real party — members only. For this umbrella, I’m going to closet the waterproof shell.
Let it rain.
The Summer 2104 collection is now available for purchase and from the words of Akomplice co-founder Patrick Liberty, “this is one of my favorite collections that Akomplice has ever come out with.” This is a company doing big things. We back it.
