It's hard to tell, but there are little white polka dots on the black ribbing. It's cute, just not shown on any picture I found. The shape of the parasol is exactly the look I wanted - very French and vintage looking. It's built a little cheaply - you can tell by the when trying to use the open/close button, but for display/decorative purposes, it's going to be perfect. The staff at OpenTip were helpful in trying to save me money with my purchase - so that was very nice.
