Today we love: duck handle eco umbrella

We're being deluged, so carry a brolly in your bag. Such as the Original Duckhead umbrella, made from recycled PET fabric... for eco precipitation protection

Wooden duck handle and PET fabric umbrella from Yorkshire Wildlife Trust

To buy a brolly or not... Cheap ones break in a gust of wind, while expensive ones...well it's so easy to lose umbrellas that it can be a very short-term investment. So go for pricey but not too pricey and choose a model with a memorable handle. In other words, the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust are the people you need because they have a quality umbrella with a jaunty birch wood duck handle and a canopy made from recycled PET fabric. £27.95 at www.ywtshop.org.uk
