Totes is the most famous umbrella brand in the United States and the world's largest trader of umbrellas, rain gear and gloves. With more than 90 years of umbrella manufacturing history, Totes is the patent holder of the first folding umbrella in the United States, and currently occupies about 80% of the market share of the folding umbrella in the United States. Totes' umbrellas have been featured in the hit Gossip Girl series many times, including the famous Totes Clear Bubble Umbrella - but this umbrella does not have a shade function.
Due to the low demand for sun protection in Europe and the United States, most of Totes' products in the European and American markets do not have sun protection functions, and only some models have "SunGuard" sun protection treatment. The so-called "SunGuard" refers to the processing of non-coated UV additives on the base fabric, which helps the umbrella fabric to achieve UPF 50. In response to the higher demand for sun protection in the Asia-Pacific and China markets, Totes has equipped almost every umbrella with "SunGuard" sun protection technology, which is more than enough for daily sun protection despite the thin umbrella cloth.
Totes' umbrella fabrics are waterproof at the same time as sunscreen processing, and the water-repellent design of totesCoat makes it easy to throw off water droplets on the umbrella surface, which is refreshing and quick-drying, and can be used for both days and rain for a long time. Due to the dual-purpose nature of the product, the price of Totes in the Chinese market will also be higher than that in the United States, and the lowest price model will also cost about 250 yuan.
Totes has a relatively simple skeleton structure and is not very wind resistant, while its straight wing style is more durable. However, Totes guarantees a lifetime warranty on all broken umbrellas, whether man-made or not. In addition, Totes' rain and weather umbrella cloth is thinner, which is less effective in shading light and heat, but does not affect the UV protection effect. Totes has brand direct sales in domestic e-commerce and is available in some first-tier city department stores.
