Product Overview
The KiMood Auto Open Wooden Umbrella is a sophisticated choice for those who value traditional aesthetics without sacrificing modern convenience. This classic umbrella combines a generous 23-inch rib length with a contemporary automatic opening mechanism, ensuring you remain shielded from the elements at the touch of a button. The canopy is crafted from high-quality polyester pongee fabric, offering a professional appearance and reliable protection. Supported by a sturdy black metal frame and finished with a polished wooden shaft and 'J' handle, this accessory is as much a statement of style as it is a practical tool for the unpredictable British weather.

Design & Performance
In terms of performance, the KiMood KI020 is designed to balance durability with a lightweight feel. The polyester pongee fabric is specifically chosen for its ability to shed water efficiently and dry rapidly, preventing the dampness often associated with standard umbrellas. The 96cm diameter provides ample coverage for a single adult, ensuring your professional attire remains protected from vertical and wind-blown rain.
The structural integrity is maintained by a resilient metal frame, which provides the necessary tension to keep the canopy taut. The wooden components are not merely decorative; the wooden shaft provides a rigid spine that resists flexing, while the traditional 'J' handle allows for easy carrying over the arm when the umbrella is not in use. This combination of materials results in a medium-weight accessory that feels substantial without being cumbersome during a long commute.
Customisation: Print Only
This product is available for customisation via print only. Printing is the optimal method for umbrellas because it allows for high-visibility branding without compromising the waterproof integrity of the canopy. Unlike embroidery, which involves piercing the fabric with thousands of needles, professional printing ensures the polyester pongee remains entirely water-tight.

Practical Advice
While the automatic opening is convenient, we recommend ensuring you have clear space around you before activating the mechanism to avoid accidental contact with others. When walking in high winds, tilt the umbrella into the wind to maintain stability and prevent the frame from being overstressed. This one-size accessory is designed to be universally manageable for all adult users.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your umbrella, it is essential to follow correct post-use procedures. Neglecting the drying process is the most common cause of premature wear in high-quality umbrellas.
Always leave your umbrella in the fully open position to air dry after use. Closing the canopy while it is still wet can trap moisture within the folds, leading to the development of mildew and the potential weakening of the polyester fibres. It can also cause the metal frame components to corrode over time if left damp for prolonged periods.
The wooden handle and shaft should be wiped with a dry, soft cloth if they become excessively wet. Allowing water to sit on the wood for extended periods can eventually affect the finish. Similarly, ensure the nickelled metal tips are kept clean and dry to prevent tarnishing, ensuring the umbrella retains its professional aesthetic for many seasons to face.
