Review on Honeystore Vintage Parasol Embroidery Umbrella Umbrellas in Stick Umbrellas by Juana Hynes

A few years ago I bought a beautiful, good quality, but too frilly umbrella in a honey shop. The quality has deteriorated noticeably: the old lining was processed at the edges with an overlock stitch. It's clean, durable and professional. The new one I ordered this week is just a piece of plastic. Like a contractor's bag, white on one side. The old umbrella closes with a click. It never got stuck in my hair, clothes or stockings. This is wrapped with a couple of Velcro straps. I wish companies would stop replacing elastic bands, buckles and snaps with Velcro! An old umbrella tote is a small bag with a handle and two buttons to keep it closed. Granted, it's not as good as it could be, but the new is even worse. This is a snap tube. At least it matches the fabric of the umbrella. The handle of an old umbrella has a cute little inlay at the bottom, I think it's a flower or a little swirly pattern. It has a place where it looks like it should be. But that's not the case. Generally what they are shipping now is just cheap and inferior and you should be aware of that because they also charge restocking fees. I'm frustrated and upset, but that's what you get when you order stuff online.
