Product Overview
The KiMood Foldable Mini Umbrella is a sophisticated solution for those who refuse to be caught out by the unpredictable British weather. Designed with portability and durability in mind, this compact accessory offers a 98cm diameter coverage when deployed, yet retracts into a manageable form that fits easily into a laptop bag or glove compartment. Its three-part folding mechanism is engineered for smooth operation, ensuring you remain professional and dry during commutes or outdoor site visits. As a BSCI-certified product, it meets rigorous social responsibility standards, making it an excellent choice for businesses looking to align their corporate gifting with ethical sourcing practices.
Key Features
- Three-part folding system: This clever design allows the umbrella to collapse into a compact size, making it exceptionally easy to store and transport without sacrificing canopy area.
- Fiberglass frame: The integration of fiberglass provides necessary flexibility, allowing the frame to withstand sudden gusts of wind without snapping or permanently deforming.
- Safety runner: The inclusion of a safety runner ensures that opening and closing the umbrella is a smooth, pinch-free experience for the user.
- Polyester pongee fabric: This high-quality material is specifically chosen for its superior water-shedding properties and resistance to tearing, ensuring the canopy remains effective over long-term use.
- Metal tips and shaft: The metal shaft provides a sturdy central core, while the metal tips ensure the fabric remains securely tensioned across the frame.
Design & Performance
Constructed using lightweight materials, this umbrella balances structural integrity with ease of use. The metal shaft provides a rigid foundation, while the fiberglass components in the frame offer the resilience required to handle the stresses of windy conditions. The use of polyester pongee fabric is a technical highlight; unlike standard polyester, pongee is more durable and has a matte finish that looks professional and performs exceptionally well under heavy rain. The plastic handle is ergonomically shaped to provide a secure grip, even when wet, ensuring you maintain control in adverse conditions.
Customisation: Print Only
This item is available for print only to ensure the integrity of the waterproof canopy is never compromised. Embroidering this fabric would involve piercing the polyester pongee with thousands of needles, which would inevitably lead to leaks during a downpour. Our expert in-house printing team in Telford utilises advanced techniques to apply your logo or branding with precision, resulting in a crisp, professional finish that adheres perfectly to the fabric and maintains its vibrancy over time.
Use Cases
This umbrella is an ideal choice for corporate professionals who require a reliable, branded accessory for their daily commute. It is equally suited for event organisers and marketing teams looking for high-quality promotional gifts that will actually be used and appreciated. Given its compact size, it is a practical addition for field-based staff who need to maintain a professional appearance regardless of the weather conditions.

Practical Advice
While this umbrella is designed for portability, we recommend allowing the canopy to dry completely in an open position before folding it away for long-term storage. This prevents the fabric from becoming creased and ensures the mechanical components remain in peak condition. It is a one-size-unisex item, making it a versatile option for diverse workforces or client bases.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your umbrella, it is essential to care for the fabric canopy correctly. We advise against using any harsh chemical cleaners or detergents, as these can strip away the water-repellent coating of the pongee fabric, leading to saturation rather than water shedding.
If the canopy becomes soiled, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth and lukewarm water is usually sufficient. Avoid scrubbing the printed area vigorously, as this could eventually degrade the bond between the ink and the fabric. Always ensure the umbrella is free from grit or salt before folding, as these particles can cause abrasion to both the frame and the material over time.
