UVEA: Redefining the Everyday Umbrella



UVEA is the ultimate compact, portable, and washable umbrella designed for modern travel needs. Its sleek design combines functionality with convenience, addressing common frustrations with traditional umbrellas.



The standout feature is its innovative aperture-like cap. Simply rotate the top cap to draw the umbrella out for use. Once done, fold and retract it back into the case, then turn the cap to seal it, effectively preventing water leakage during storage.



The cover doubles as a handle with carefully designed grooves for a secure grip, even in wet conditions. Cleaning UVEA is equally effortless. Detach the bottom cap to pour out stagnant water and rinse away dirt or odors. The case itself can be laundered, ensuring a fresh, clean accessory every time. Reassemble the components seamlessly, and with the handle integrated into the case, there's no risk of losing a separate fabric cover.



UVEA’s design consists of three modular elements: the main umbrella, the grooved case, and the detachable bottom cap. These separable components not only simplify maintenance but also offer a unique personalization feature. Users can mix and match colors to create a combination that suits their style.



UVEA is more than just an umbrella—it's a thoughtfully engineered solution for daily life, merging practicality with aesthetic appeal.
