> I'd be willing to pay $120 AUD (or $80 USD) for an umbrella that was seriously good quality

https://au.davekny.com/ has good stuff although I haven't had one long enough (only 5 years) to attest its durability.

They also have some promising guarantee terms: https://au.davekny.com/pages/lifetime-guarantee

I’ve been using a small folding umbrella from MUJI that I bought 8 years ago. Not particularly expensive.

My partner has probably been through about ten umbrellas in the same time-span, because she was reluctant to spend the modest extra amount for something she doubted would last so long. I recently bought her the same model of umbrella from MUJI, although it’s too early to say whether the company has maintained the build quality.

I think it’s this one (but hard to tell on their awful website) https://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?PID=14951&qclr=45503441...

Approximately twice what I was hoping to pay, but damn those are some wild guarantees.

Yeah same. Seems worth it though. I’ve spent more than $200 over the last 5-10 years on umbrellas easily.

You should get Sam Vimes to tell you about his boots.
