With Valentine’s Day upon us, it’s easy to get sucked into the annual chaos of supermarket shelves packed with teddies, hearts and flowers, not to mention the expensive jewellery that floods our social media feed. Literally everywhere you turn, there seems to be something pink, red or covered in hearts. But aside from the wilting roses, a box of I’m-on-a-diet-but-it’s-okay chocolates, and the jewellery that might not quite be their style but feels Valentines-ey enough to get, what actually stands out as unique and meaningful?
Thinking about what an umbrella actually is, it's a piece of portable architecture, a personal shield against the elements in the form of an arms-wide-open hug. When you give somebody the gift of an umbrella, you’re not just giving them a fashion accessory; you’re giving them love and protection.
There is something so deeply symbolic about this form of shelter to me, where life is filled with unexpected downpours, both literal and metaphorical. By gifting a high-quality umbrella you’re saying, “I can’t stop the rain from falling, but I can make sure that you stay safe and dry.” It’s such a protective, nurturing gesture that makes a loved one feel near to you, even when you’re miles apart.
What sets the Ivan umbrella by Oswin Hyde apart from a standard supermarket purchase is the fact that it isn’t just any umbrella; expertly made from premium 210T pongee fabric for durability, its strong fibre glass frame features luxurious brass tips, with exceptional windproof quality which has been rain tested in England. Oswin Hyde also offer a beautiful personalisation service where you can add a persons initials, a memorable date perhaps, or even a phone number.
The concept of this gift that really touched my heart is its ability to be there for somebody when you aren’t physically by their side. We all want to be the one sharing our umbrella with our favourite person in the world when the sky greys over and the clouds break.
Who will you gift an umbrella to? 🎁 🫶🏻☔️
