This is an innovative item that allows you to carry your umbrella and bag together. It's convenient because it leaves both hands free. It might be good for children too! It has an adjuster, so you can adjust it. Depending on your ideas, you can probably use it for other things as well. This is a Can Do product. I plan to fold the paper packaging to fit it in an envelope for shipping, but if you prefer it not folded, please let me know.
