Some of the earliest uses of umbrellas came from Egypt, China, Greece, and Assyria. 

The word umbrellas comes from the Latin word umbra, which means shadow. 

The first waterproof umbrellas were made in China.

They were initially made to provide shade, but the addition of the waxed lacquer allowed them to repel water.

Early civilizations made umbrellas out of all sorts of materials. 

Simple palm lead umbrellas were made to protect people from the sun’s heat. 

Later on, animal skin and other more meticulously woven umbrellas were made.

Umbrellas became the standard in fashion for women by the 16th century in places like England and France. 

Over time, umbrellas became synonymous with wealth and status.

Umbrellas are used in every climate and condition. 

They protect us from immediate exposure to the elements.
