VANCOUVER.- Pluvio Umbrella launched their online store in February, selling high-quality, limited edition umbrellas with designs from prominent contemporary artists. Pluvio has collaborated with the following artists to create 7 unique umbrellas:

Alex Pardee (California) - Nightmare • Ami Vitale (Montana) - Colors of Haiti • Chuck Anderson (Chicago) - Night Vision • Illustrated Ink (Texas) - Skullerfly Beauties • Ramon Bruin (Netherlands) - Hold On • The London Police (London) - 5 Dogs Called Barry • Sasha Unisex (Moscow) - Frisky Fox

Each design is limited to 200 umbrellas and is tagged with the edition number. Designs will not be restocked. Pluvios sell for $49 USD and ship worldwide. Free shipping is provided to U.S. and Canadian customers while the international shipping fee is $7. For each Colors of Haiti umbrella sold, $5 is being donated to The St. Lukes Foundation for Haiti.

Umbrellas are made with premium materials to provide a strong, durable product. Windstorm safe frames have a chrome and nickel coating. Quality is reinforced with black fibreglass ribs and a rubber matte handle with an auto-open push button. Pluvios are foldable and have a designed pouch with a strap.

“I wanted to create a product that’s more than just an umbrella,” said Jonathan Bonder, founder and CEO. It’s a new platform for showcasing amazing contemporary art. Pluvios are equal parts design and function. Umbrellas are mostly mundane and I wanted to make them cool. People have to settle for a product that lacks style and I want to change that by creating really cool umbrellas.”
