Umbrellas are a necessity this time of year. ILEVE's first umbrella was produced by a long-established vinyl umbrella manufacturer.

Typhoon No. 1 has appeared, and more and more rain is being reported. Okinawa has also already entered the rainy season, although it seems to be 11 days later than normal.

The season of rain and humidity has arrived, and YLÈVE has launched an item that may make such a time a little more enjoyable. It is an umbrella. What's more, it is a vinyl umbrella made in Japan.

Umbrella ¥16,500 (ILEVE)

This work was commissioned to be manufactured by a long-established manufacturer specializing in vinyl umbrellas that has been in business for 300 years since the Edo period. This umbrella manufacturer, which is under the Imperial Household Agency's warrant, is known for having developed the world's first vinyl umbrella.

The company is still researching and developing new styles of vinyl umbrellas, and one of its features is that its ventilation makes it resistant to strong winds and prevents the umbrella from being turned upside down. Moreover, it is not disposable, but repairable.

The arrangement is extremely simple, taking advantage of the quality of the construction. The grosgrain tape and other details are decorated in navy, the brand color of ILEVE. This subtle accent creates a chic atmosphere. Please check it out at the directly-managed stores of "IRAVE" or "The Library".
