Umbrella-ella-ella at RMS | Print |  Email to a friend
Friday, 06 March 2009
The charitable folk at RMS PR in Altrincham are selling off some “limited edition” brollies for good causes.

Their designers created the pink and black flocked umbrellas, which match not only their branding, but their wallpaper and proceeds will go to their pro bono clients, St Luke’s Hospice and Factor 50.

A somewhat embarrassed Rachel from RMS explains it in more detail via YouTube and risks the wrath of the superstitious by opening it in their office.

 

 

"Our original order of fifty umbrellas was soon snapped up by clients, journalists and contacts. Let's face it, it's guaranteed to piss down with rain in this neck of the woods. Manchester rain is legendary. That's why we decided to design our own brollies and take cover in style. We had no idea that the designs would be so popular and that we'd have to keep ordering more," an agency spokesperson told us.

If pink and black flocked brollies are just your thing, bidding starts here at £25.
