Alperstein Umbrella - Megan Kantamarra

Alperstein Umbrella - Megan Kantamarra

Inside your Alperstein umbrella features artwork by Megan Kantamarra from Warlukurlangu Artists so you can enjoy some beautiful artwork even on the rainiest days!

This is no ordinary Umbrella. These are not only pretty but also:

• very sturdy
• easy to get out of car or other tiny spaces while opening
• rest without an umbrella rest
• easy to open with a fine switch than the usual cheap umbrellas
• hold the water in without wetting the places, if you have to switch between indoors and outdoors :)

 When you arrive to where you need to be, the umbrellas fold in reverse so you can continue enjoying the beautiful print as well as keeping dry!

Established in 1985 Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation is a not-for-profit organisation that is 100% Aboriginal-owned by its artists from the remote desert communities of Yuendumu and Nyirripi in Central Australia.
