I'm officially looking for a new umbrella. my current umbrella now has started showing some aging signs like unability to dry properly, which makes it more tedious to handle. I bought it like 5.5 years ago on one of shopping trips with my 2nd year roommate. she picked the green colored one and I had the maroon one.

believe it or not, it's not so easy to find an umbrella that suits my taste. to add into the difficulty level, not all department stores sell umbrellas.
