In what way might I store my umbrella in my purse while absorbing excess water from it so that I don't wet my purse and so that I can take it out again and use it without dripping too much?

Here, I used key/ latent needs for my decomposition. I sketched out some concepts for two distinct user needs that I identified:

1. The bag accommodates different sized umbrellas

• roll with straps
• drawstring with straps
• tube ruching with strap
• zipper bag with straps
• garter with buttons strap

2. The bag is not easily forgotten

• belt clip
• strap
• mountain climbing snap hook
• baggage handles
• loop

A. EZ Roll - roll bag + mountain climbing snap hook
B. Grab, Pull N Go - drawstring bag + handle
C. Up, Down, Hang - ruching bag + loop
D. Zip N Go - zipper bag + zipper head strap
E. Button Up N Grab - button-up bag + handle
F. Roll N Clip - roll bag + belt clip

G. Pull N Loop - drawstring bag with drawstring forming a loop strap
H. Zip N Hook - zipper bag with zipper head as mountain climbing snap hook
I. Up, Down, Grab - ruching bag + handle
J. Button N Hang - button-up bag + loop handle
