Product Information
Full details
This Hermoine Hummingbird Umbrella by Emily Smith Designs is for individuals seeking a stylish and reliable rain protection accessory. Its key benefit is the combination of a durable, high-quality construction with an attractive design. A potential caveat for some users might be its specific material composition, which is superior pongee but differs from traditional nylon. The umbrella features a wooden shaft and handle, a strong fibreglass frame, and a water-resistant pongee canopy, all designed for lightweight fashion and dependable use.

FAQs
What are the primary materials used in this umbrella?
The umbrella features a wooden shaft and handle, a fibreglass frame and ribs, and a superior pongee material for the canopy.
What is the warranty period for this umbrella?
Soake umbrellas, including this model, come with a no-quibble 1-year warranty against faulty workmanship.
Is this umbrella suitable for very windy conditions?
The fibreglass frame and ribs provide good resilience against wind, making it suitable for moderate wind conditions. However, extreme winds can damage any umbrella.
How do I operate the automatic open/close feature?
Press the button on the handle to open the umbrella. Press the button again to collapse the canopy, then gently push the shaft down until it clicks to close fully.
Can I use this umbrella in heavy rain?
Yes, the superior pongee canopy is designed for effective water repellency, making it suitable for heavy rain.
What does 'superior pongee' material mean for the canopy?
Pongee is a type of woven fabric known for its smooth texture and good water-repellent properties. 'Superior' suggests a higher quality or enhanced version of this material.
Where are Soake umbrellas designed and distributed?
Soake are UK designers, importers, and distributors of umbrellas.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella does not open or close automatically.
Ensure the mechanism is not obstructed. Check for any bent ribs or frame components. If the issue persists, the mechanism may require professional attention.
Canopy material appears less water-repellent.
Ensure the canopy is fully dry before storage. Over time, water-repellent coatings can degrade; avoid harsh cleaning agents. Light exposure to air can sometimes help re-establish repellency.
Frame or ribs are bent.
Gently attempt to bend the frame or ribs back into their original position. Avoid excessive force, as this could cause them to break. For significant damage, contact customer support.
Wooden handle shows signs of wear.
You can lightly sand the handle with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a wood polish or sealant suitable for the type of wood to restore its finish.
