Remember the shrimp tempura umbrella, penguin floor cleaner and ramen towels? These were all made by a Japanese brand and just goes to show that the Japanese are really masters at producing quirky items that are not only fun to look at, but also equally useful.

Those who can't get enough of these unique items will be glad to know that another Japanese brand, Coci la elle, is selling a realistic-looking bubble wrap umbrella.

Coci la elle sells umbrellas in beautiful designs that will make rainy days less dreary. One of their most interesting designs is the bubble wrap one in pretty pastel colours that form an iridescent look.

Standing under the umbrella will make you feel like you're sheltering yourself from the rain using actual bubble wrap, except that you're not, and that's all thanks to the hyper realistic design!

We are sure you have a burning question: can those 'bubbles' be popped? Sorry to burst your bubble (pun intended), though. The design may look 3D but you can't actually touch the 'bubbles' and you certainly can't pop them to relieve stress.

However, we've got to give props to Coci la elle for making the umbrella look like it's really being covered in bubble wrap!

There's even an option to choose your preferred handle, from pastel marble designs to a muted brown one.

An umbrella with such novelty comes with a hefty price tag as well, costing 20,000 JPY, which is about 257 SGD. Find more information here.

Luckily, you won't have to burn a hole in your pocket because these umbrellas are only available in Japan. But if you're into quirky finds, you can always get a traveller to bring it back for you.
