Purple inspirations - Pasotti

I happen to have a purple umbrella. Not because I have a special umbrella for advent, but because I needed one a while back and I wanted to avoid black. I don't think black does anyone's skintone a favour on a dreary, rainy day. This emergency umbrella is flapping pathetically on one side, where the metal whatever-you-call-it has buckled in the wind. If money was no object I would exchange it for this striking quality specimen by Pasotti...
