While most umbrella repairers have closed shop as millions of broken, cheap umbrellas are tossed out each year around the world, Lah is catering to a growing base of new customers who try to throw away less due to environmental concerns. "I told myself: 'Marija, you can't just throw away a knowledge that nobody else has in Ljubljana!'" she recalls.

Mass production of umbrellas by thousands of different factories – and with customers constantly demanding new models – also makes repairs difficult.She is unsure whether her children want to take over the shop one day, saying it was up to them as she does"not intend to force them".Lah believes besides satisfied customers, rain is her"best advertisement" though she does not fear dry summers, which gives her time to clean up her shop.
