I Drink by the Jug, COAL UMBRELLA



Just down the way from MODE, Coal Umbrella is tucked in an upper floor.



This top floor space was completely renovated by the owners of Coal Umbrella. They scraped layers of wallpaper and flooring to reveal the original elements. Coal Umbrella is essentially a second hand store that also carries some vinyl albums and other treats.



Each room in Coal Umbrella has a theme and its own customized look. When we visited we were overwhelmed with selection. They have vintage dresses, leather jackets and tapestry bags. They also carry a couple surprises in the way of a bath tub full of old sewing patterns, glass bottles of Soda, and so many western shirts one would die of western shirt bliss.







Coal Umbrella is part of the Provo Gallery Stroll and hosts an artist every month. They also carry clothing from local Provo artists.





This is definitely worth checking out. Coal Umbrella is probably in my top 5 favorite stores in all of UTAH.
