$700 for an umbrella? Only youand your accountantcan decide
if that's a justifiable expense, but if ever there were a case to be
made for such an extravagance, the tipping point might be this Burberry
number. It's wide enough to keep you dry from head to toe and all
thatno matter what downpours our climate-changed planet has in
store this fallbut the real draw is the fact that the perimeter is
trimmed with six rows of the silver pylon studs that have made the
London house's newest bags and shoes so covetable. A word of advice: Try
not to leave it in the back of a taxi.
