After exposure to rain, fully open the umbrella to allow the silk canopy to dry naturally. Storing the umbrella while damp may damage the delicate fabric and reduce its lifespan.
Gently shake the umbrella from side to side to remove excess water. Avoid rolling or tightly closing the umbrella while it is wet.
Wipe the Snakewood handle with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its beautiful grain pattern. Avoid using harsh chemicals, water, or abrasive materials that could damage the wood.
Store the umbrella in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to preserve both the silk canopy and the Snakewood handle.
