A call for more transparency

In accessories, not politics, of course. We all know the latter is a pipe dream. Anyway, upon our arrival in Japan, one of the first things I gushed about was my odd fascination with the ubiquitous clear umbrella. Now, the Japanese probably did not invent this contraption, but they must use it more than any other group of people on Earth. Our dear friend, the lovely and talented Shoptometrist, has spotted them popping up in trendy, bargain-friendly places all over the United States (pictured above, Clear Bubble Stick Umbrella courtesy of www.target.com) . Her taste, however, actually leans more towards Marimekko, a Japanese-sounding Finnish brand if there ever was one.
