Harbour City has collaborated with the designers Craig and Karl to create umbrella designs that are sure to stand out in a crowd. Indeed, each design is full of graphics that it's hard not to stare, and will not be lost in a sea of black and dull-colored parasols.
The graphics almost look similar to a kaleidoscopic image, since there is so much going on in each design. One umbrella design is intended more for males, as it's slightly darker than the other aimed at women (however, they could be used by both sexes). Umbrellas are not always an item that people think about when it comes to fashion, but Harbour City pushes this belief by working with Craig and Karl on these designs.
