Since time unknown, man has been discovering and inventing methods to keep himself safe from the weather. One of the more popular inventions that have helped this cause is the invention of the umbrella. Unlike popular belief, the umbrella is not a modern device and has its roots in ancient history. From Egypt, Rome, to India and China, these devices had been in use since the ancient times. However, back then they were considered to be a facility only to be used by the royals and people in high positions. With time, this has changed making the parasol a popular device to keep out the sun, and more often the rain.
Although there has been a growing use of other material like the raincoats and windcheaters, the umbrella has never gone out of popular use. It is easy to store, carry and excellent protection from both the sun and the rain. This makes it a viable choice for many people. Especially in places like England, where the weather is unpredictable, these parasols have the benefit of being carried comfortably in the bag to be opened in bad weather. With changing times, manufacturers have adapted to the changing needs of customers to create more durable and fashionable umbrellas that are a joy to carry around. In fact, umbrellas were considered to be fashion statements in the social circuits of Paris and London in the early 18th and 19th centuries. With more designer and arty designs of umbrellas coming out, they seem to be attaining their long lost status.
