50th Anniversary Auto Open Stick, Raindrop

The totes 50th Anniversary Auto-Open Stick Umbrella is a nicely designed and well-crafted umbrella. Its a delight to use, in a world in which well-made products seem to be a thing of the past.

When I pay this much for an umbrella, it shouldnt come with a cracked handle. Judging by the feel and hollow sound when I tap along the crack with my nail, it seems like this section will eventually chip away. I almost wonder if they tried to repair the crack and just sent it out anyways. If shipping it back wasnt going to be a pain in the butt Id return it immediately.

I only buy Totes umbrellas. We have them in the car, hanging near the front door, under a car seat, you name it. I always buy the small ones though that come with a cover that within a month, I lose it.

I try to avoid using umbrellas, but wanted something that would last a long time. This caught my attention and it is probably the fanciest umbrella Ive tried. Looks very stylish but the price tag is definitely gonna shock a lot of folks. But if you dont want to embarrass yourself walking in the rain and its windy and your cheap umbrella flips backwards, this is worth investing in.

Absolutely adore this umbrella! I guess after 50 years of making umbrellas, you really do think of it all. It opens beautifully and feels so sturdy. The hardware is high-quality and makes the umbrella a breeze to use (pun intended.) Held up against some pretty strong gusts and protected me well. I love the classic look they decided to go to with these, timeless and gorgeous. HIGHLY recommend!

This is a very fun and unique-looking umbrella. The jumbo size and colorful confetti print make it hard to miss. Its perfect for keeping the rain off, even if a couple people are under it. That said, I’d like it better if it were a manual umbrella because it opens with a lot of force. I also find it a bit tricky to get the latch closed. As much as I like the classic styling, its not the kind of umbrella I can use on a regular basis.

This is the classiest umbrella Ive ever owned. I keep close tabs on it! It has a slender and graceful elegance to it. Timeless. Fabulous gift that will be appreciated for its design as well as its function.

This is a super full-size umbrella. Love the auto open feature: just press a button and it opens. Very nice for getting out of the car. Just open the door enough to get the umbrella out, press the button, and you are protected from the rain. Good too in the wind. At least a moderate wind. Havent been able to test in a gale yet. Beats the heck out of those small umbrellas.

Opens like a dream Very sturdy and beautiful to look at my only hesitation is over the price which may change when released to the general public. Aside from that it is a wonderful umbrella bringing you back to the days of childhood when under a sturdy umbrella you seemed alone in a magical world sheltered yet a part of the storm. Then again to regain this magical experience so many years later, maybe it is priced just right

This umbrella is something else. Its so incredibly luxurious and elegant. It feels very sturdy, though I cant vouch for its sturdiness yet because I just got it. I got it on Black Friday so the sale price was beyond worth it for me. I think it would make an incredible gift, too. Every part of of it feels deluxe, from the frame, to the perfect metal point, to the leather close strap, to the elegant raindrop pattern. Im in love.
