This is a folding umbrella with a three-section frame. The storage case has an L-shaped zipper, making it easy to put the umbrella away. The case also has a carabiner, so you can attach it to a bag handle, making it ideal for those who don't want to put a wet umbrella in their bag after use. I love this umbrella and have bought too many different patterns. I'm selling these as they have only been used a few times.
