The Westminster Umbrella is the latest par excellence creation coming to us from the house of Archer Adams of London. With an umbrella this beautiful you will never want to let it go or leave it behind. Infused with the design house’s signature style which defies commodification, the Westminster Umbrella is fondly reminiscent of now-departed Alexander McQueen’s gold/silver skull handled piece of rain gear.
