New Umbrella Suggestions- Modern but Compact?

[Anonymous]

Any leads on a mini umbrella (probably less than 12 inches long) with a cool modern print? I could go either organic or geometric. I'm familiar with Marimekko and Tray 6 Options, but just not especially excited about any of them. Yesterday I bought a new coat and bag, then woke up smiling this morning because the Orla Kiely stem print would complete the look perfectly (size be d@#$%ed)... only to realize that those haven't been available (new) in the couple of seasons since I last had leisure and money to shop for accessories. Where else should I be looking?

OP, something just to keep in the car or to use with an overcoat? I love patterned umbrellas but they tend to look weird and are limiting when paired with an overcoat.

Places like Filene's basement have good selections.

Thanks for the responses. It's to keep in my bag (no car) at most times because I'm not a risk-taker. My coats in the regular rotation are all solid color wool.

Anyway, Filene's is worth a shot. If anyone else is looking, Tabletop in Dupont carries Marimekko umbrellas, which I do like... just not finding The One for this season.

Believe it or not, I"ve found some great compact umbrellas at Target.
