Dear [first_name],


Spring Selection on Sale

It’s May already, and it’s that time of year when the sun begins to shine and the weather begins to warm. That is why this newsletter will be devoted to one of the best inventions of all time: the Parasol!

 Did you know that China is believed to be one of the earliest places on earth where umbrellas and parasols were used? That’s right, China has been making and using umbrellas for more than three thousand years. While in the West we often use umbrellas to keep out of the rain, today millions of people still carry light parasols for protection against the sun. Handcrafted Asian umbrellas are also fashionable and used as props in dance and theatre productions.

In honor of the umbrella, Oriental-Decor.com will be reducing its umbrella prices by 15% through May 2008.  Check out our gigantic selection of beautiful, handcrafted Oriental umbrellas today!

Shelter from the Rain

Umbrellas were originally used for protection against the sun and rain. Here in the West, most people use umbrellas for cover against the rain only.

Our rain umbrellas will offer all of the protection of a conventional umbrella but with the handcrafted and hand-painted style and look of an Asian parasol. All of our rain umbrellas feature striking designs and beautiful patterns on their shade, making them double as Asian parasols, for use in the sun as well.

Keep Cool with a Parasol!

Asian parasols are a traditional favorite in China, Japan and many other Asian countries. They were originally used by the nobility and royalty to keep cool under the hot Asian sun. Additionally, Asian parasols created a fashion statement and still provide a feminine charm and beauty to women that no other prop can offer. It is becoming increasingly more common in the West to see women strolling under Asian parasols to protect their skin and eyes from the harsh rays of the sun. Each of our Asian parasols is handcrafted and hand-painted for a beautiful effect and make an excellent gift. View them all right here and take 15% off any Asian parasol with this special newsletter discount.
