Rihanna to launch umbrella range

Rihanna has agreed to capitalise on the success of her Umbrella single - by launching her own range of brollies.

The R&B singer has teamed up with US company Totes, which will produce the designer umbrellas. Prices are expected to range from £10 to £25.

The most expensive umbrella in the collection, the Rihanna 2 Colour Satin Stick, was used by the singer during her performance at the MTV Awards earlier this year.

She has been at the top of the UK chart with Umbrella for ten weeks.
