Anyway, sorry about the broken spoke tip. Please email us at sales@kentwang.com and we'll take care of a repair for you. We'll pay for shipping both ways.
I've personally never had my umbrella blow out, and I was using it in a category 4 typhoon in Japan.
Seriously, though, I appreciate the offer of repair, but no worries — at this point it's simply My Umbrella and I don't want to change it. The spoke tip has acquired wabi-sabi status for me.

I'm familiar with leather types and the processes used to make them. Before I purchased this case I saw that there were references to it being "genuine Italian leather" and "polished leather," so I contacted the makers directly to verify how the leather was was made from before ordering it. They told me in writing that it is full-grain leather and described the process in detail. My experience with it is also very consistent with that of other full-grain products.
My very first briefcase was genuine leather, my second top grain. This is my third, and the difference could hardly be more pronounced. There's no imprinted pattern on it. It's soft but tough, smells and feels the same as my Saddleback mousepad, has the thickness and natural grain patterns that I expected, and is already starting to develop a noticeable patina. It is of the same quality and character as the absurd $2000 heirloom briefcases carried by the partners at my firm — we've compared them side by side, and they've repeatedly gone on about the unbelievable deal I got on it. If this is genuine leather, I don't want full grain any more. :)
