Talking About Umbrellas...

...Michel Heurtault of Parasolerie Heurtault makes haute couture umbrellas.




“I’ve been obsessed with umbrellas from the time I was three. I have no idea why, but I could spend hours breaking them apart and studying how they opened and closed. I collected all of the umbrellas I could find, and by the time I was eight I was repairing them for people in my neighborhood. Needless to say, my parents thought I was nuts."







I know The Man would be swept off his feet just by looking at those classics.
So Frenchy so chic!


Read Michel Heurtault tell the story behind his flabbergasting art on Paris By Appointment Only.

    Thank you so much for posting on my blog! I wanted to return a comment...
    I know that as mothers it can be so hard to find time to do these creative things that we want to do. I just think if I could get rid of that guilt that I give myself when I go into my sewing room, that would help me to be more productive I am sure!
    By the way, your site is lovely I am going to add it to the blogs that I follow!

    Those are stunning umbrellas. I love the orange poppy printed one on the site. I would actually enjoy going out in the rain if I had one of these. Thanks so much for sharing :)
