When you think of a Volvo, you think of a car that tows the fine line between being aesthetic but also having a reputation for being robust and reliable. The Baobab Brolly too shares that same image. With a steel-nickel frame, and a high-density fabric clad, the entirely handmade Baobab Brolly was designed to do two things. Look good and last long… And it was designed to not do one thing. Get lost or stolen. The Baobab Brolly comes with its own GPS tracker, built right into the handle. The tracker lets you know exactly where you’ve left your umbrella, via an app on your phone, informing you if it’s lying under a table at your local cafe, or if left it at the office. Quite unlike indoor GPS enabled tracking devices, unless you turn it off, there is always a connection between app and the umbrella. The connection can last till 15 steps (=1,125 cm / 37 Feet ), however when that connection is broken for a minute, the app on the phone alerts you about the broken connection. This how you can prevent the loss of your umbrella. Through bbb.B app you can only track down the last place where there was a connection. The GPS tracker comes with a battery life of over three years. Couple that with the Baobab Brolly’s sturdy frame and you’ve got yourself a stylish umbrella that lasts 6 times longer than your conventional easy-to-break and easy-to-lose umbrella… And if you ever get bored of your umbrella in those 6+ years, the Baobab Brolly features a swappable design, allowing you to detach your handle and attach it to a Brolly umbrella of a different color!
