5 Reasons This Is the Best Compact Umbrella for a Handbag or Tote
Summary: A handbag umbrella has one job: be there when it rains without taking over the bag. The Haven Umbrella folds to 40 cm, weighs about 390 g and clips to the strap when the bag is full. Five reasons it is the one worth carrying.
1. It folds short enough for the bag you already carry
Most umbrellas get left at home for one reason: they are too long for the bag.
Haven folds to 40 cm / 15.75 in long and 5 cm / 2 in wide. It slides into a tote, a work bag or a backpack.
Measure your bag. Then stop carrying the wrong umbrella.
2. Light enough that you forget it is there
A bag you carry all day cannot take much extra. Haven weighs about 390 g.
It still opens to 105 cm / 41.3 in of coverage: your head, your shoulders and the bag on your arm.
3. It clips to the strap when the bag is full
Bags fill up, and the umbrella is the first thing left out. The handle is an oversized swivel carabiner loop that clips to a strap, a handle or a hook. Bag too small? It hangs on the outside.
4. A wet umbrella no longer soaks your bag
The water-repellent canopy sheds most of the rain with one shake at the door.
And every Haven comes with a FREE absorbent carry sleeve, so your phone and notebook stay dry.
5. One press, even with full hands
For commuters with a coffee in one hand.
For the school run.
For anyone who has ever arrived soaked.
One press opens it. One press closes it. And on bright days the UPF 50+ under-layer gives you shade.

Questions about carrying it
Will the Haven Umbrella fit in my handbag?
It folds to 40 cm / 15.75 in long and 5 cm / 2 in wide. That fits totes, work bags and backpacks. For a smaller bag, clip it to the strap with the carabiner handle.
How heavy is a good handbag umbrella?
Light enough that you stop noticing it. The Haven Umbrella weighs about 390 g.
How do I carry a wet umbrella in my bag?
Shake it off, close it with one press and slide it into the absorbent carry sleeve that comes free with every Haven. Dry it open when you get home.
What if my bag is too small for any umbrella?
Carry it on the outside. The swivel carabiner loop clips to bag straps, handles and hooks, so it does not need to fit inside.
Does a compact umbrella give enough cover?
It depends on the canopy. The Haven Umbrella folds small but opens to 105 cm / 41.3 in of coverage.
