Brigg, founded in 1836 and now part of Swaine, is the oldest umbrella maker in Britain, and it builds a folding one that deserves to be kept. The handle is whangee, the knuckled bamboo that Steed carried in The Avengers, and it tells anyone who knows umbrellas exactly where this came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eThe object\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhangee is cut from the root of a bamboo and bent by hand, so every handle has its own pattern of joints. The canopy is cut and sewn in England in dark navy, on a two-part stainless steel shaft that collapses to bag length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt lives in a briefcase or a coat pocket for the days that turn.
