I ordered two, in hopes that I would get two different colors, but I got two red ones.  I'm wondering if it's because it was just after Chinese New Year (red is THE color to have in that case, so they would have had a LOT of red in stock).

They are being used in a teen play and are standing up to the abuse well!  They're well-made and the red is lovely!  One is stiffer than the other - as in... when you open it up, it's harder to open it all the way.

The material feels more papery than silky.
Great, asian parasols.
