DISCLAIMER: I have no idea if what I'm pondering is even possible, or if it is possible to do without the end result looking kinda slipshod. This is why I'm asking you people.
I wonder if it's possible to take one of my parasols and modify it so that the handle unscrews. Take a look at the "Signature Bella" parasols here at Bella Umbrella (clicky link, of course!) to see what I'm thinking of. While I think the Signature Bella parasol is a great shape (and oooh, I could get a black canopy and a pink handle!), I don't really need one.
But the idea of making one of my parasols even more portable when it's closed or not in use is an attractive one. You see, I have a handbag that has fastenings on the back of it to hold a parasol, but all of my parasols are at least 36" tall. If I could unscrew the handle of one of the parasols and then slip the canopy and handle through the loops on the handbag, that would be amazingly useful. (After, of course, securing the two parts of the parasol together with securely-tied stretch velvet ribbon.)
So! Anyone know if what I'm talking about would be possible? Would it would be possible to do elegantly? And most importantly, if it is possible to modify a parasol in this manner, who could help me with it? Trust me, I know this sort of project is beyond my skills.
