Totes has known to make some very, very sturdy and strong umbrellas. That has been the case with their popular automatic open-close umbrellas. They've been a huge hit for anyone whom wants the simplest of the umbrellas. But for those that do want a small starter, they could try the Totes Micro-brella. It is a compact and discreet umbrella, that can fit easily into a women's handbag or pocketbook. The downside to it being manual umbrella is that it can be rough to open and close at times. Even though it comes with a lifetime warranty, you'd have to send that to Totes to have them take care of it, after it breaks down. Still, Totes make a better bet when it comes to umbrellas. You should just stick to their auto open & close ones to come in from the rain.
