I have found a factory in italy that still makes PARASOLS, not umbrellas the real thing.

The problem is the expense... $130. for a single but the price goes down if i can get 2 or 3. I will end up paying the higher price if no one wants to go in on this because i reeeeealy want one.

let me know soon, i will be placing my order on monday or tuesday.

I've been wanting a parasol myself...but I think you can surely find them cheaper...
