How did the skeleton know it was going to rain? They could feel it in their bones! The umbrella opens to approximately 23 long (handle) and 42 wide (diameter). It compacts to approximately 12.5 when closed. The spooky skull handle is dark gun metal and the hardware is black metal plated. Repeating skull and crossbones artwork is printed on high quality water repelling polyester. Automatic easy pop open design. Compacts down to fit in most bags. Easy carry loop handle and matching sleeve. Ideal for travel, Halloween, pirate cosplay, or any horror event. Makes a great gift for any goth that loves graveyard exploration in the sun or rain.
