The Brelli is behind this eco-fabulous, white umbrella which also happens to be the world’s first 100% biodegradable umbrella. Yes, you heard me right…Read On.

Ok, so you know I live in Portland, Oregon and yes it rains a lot here….Most Portlanders don’t normally carry around umbrellas…we’re just used to the rain…and the green, clean air and luscious forests, among amazing restaurants, fabulous shopping, eco-hip and chic Portland…you get what I mean…

….I am originally from L.A. and I do love a good umbrella…..and now that I’ve found this environmentally conscious one, I’m not going back.

Available in two sizes, 37” diameter and 52” diameter; $28, and $38.

Check out the eco-details as explained by The Brelli:

“The Brelli’s patented design features a certified biodegradable plastic canopy. This innovative new material has a unique chemical composition which allows it to completely biodegrade in conditional landfill environments. Unlike conventional plastic, which takes hundreds of years to break down, The Brelli’s bio-plastic canopy has passed stringent tests certifying that it will fully biodegrade in one to two years. Furthermore, the gases released during the degrading process can be harvested to generate electricity. More than 90% of the energy used to create The Brelli can thereby be recycled.”

Bio-plastic….I love it!
