Give us your tired, your used. Your worn and broken umbrellas.

Yearning to be recycled. The especially rainy beginning to this summer got us thinking about umbrellas - and how there's so many of them that wind up in the city's streets and trash cans after a gusty rainstorm. So we were thrilled to team up with Himane, a fashion and design company founded by Haiti native Catherine Edouard-Charlot to collect broken umbrellas from water-logged commuters at our Grand Central kiosk.

Catherine refashions the umbrellas into creatively designed and waterproof bags and totes which we then sell at $15 for a tote, which when folded resembles an umbrella and $45 for a multipurpose and portable folding bag. We also offer custom bags from the Himane collection. So let it rain!
