Different things were made from Bakelite, we have already written about bakelite bracelets, vintage Bakelite buttons, but the scope of this material did not end there. In fact, Bakelite has been used in a variety of items and accessories.
Today Fashionista invites attention to vintage umbrella handles made of Bakelite. An umbrella is a necessary thing, because it can rain any day, but you don't want to wet your hair and clothes, so we can't do without an umbrella. Every self-respecting fashionista and simple girl should have several umbrellas for different looks.
If you like vintage, umbrellas from the first half of the 20th century with bakelite handles can complete the look. Just finding a working, working umbrella of that time is not an easy task. The umbrellas that are so many years old are often in a terrible state - they look bad and the most unpleasant thing is they leak!
But it's not all that bad, if you find a vintage umbrella in a terrible state in your chest, pay attention to the umbrella handle. At the beginning of the 20th century, the handles of many umbrellas were made of Bakelite. Such a handle, by simple manipulations, can be rearranged on some models of modern umbrellas such as a cane, which will result in a very original umbrella with a vintage handle.
