Paper Parasols

Retrun To Fashion Articles

When most of us think of parasols, we think of Victorian ladies sipping tea at garden parties. Victorian beauties had multiple reasons for carrying parasols, however; not only were they fashionable, but they also helped ladies maintain their fair complexions. A fair complexion was a sign of refinement, and an indication that a woman didn't have to work outdoors. Parasols were so popular that women of the day often had them custom-made to match each of their different outfits.

Women in Japan use parasols to protect themselves from the damaging rays of the hot summer sun. Over time, these women begin to demand more colorful and fashionable parasols, starting a trend that spread throughout the world. Japanese parasols often feature dramatic and beautiful floral patterns.
