Materials
Our umbrellas are handmade using age old techniques adapted to modern-day usage and built to last season after season.
We design our products with longevity in mind, as to design sustainably means to design umbrellas to last. We want every umbrella to live a long productive life, so we always prioritise the highest quality materials and construction
We use the surplus materials from our umbrella canopies to create our reusable bags. We use the equivalent of 6 recycled plastic bottles for each bag.
We use 100% certified biodegradable poly-bags, which means you can relax that all of our packaging is fully biodegradable in landfill. All packaging we use to ship at every stage of production is also fully recyclable.
We are conscious that producing anything new has an impact on the environment. We are continuously working to eliminate waste at every stage of production.
9 Plastic Bottles
Our canopies are made from recycled fabric called rPET, a versatile and strong material. rPET is created from recycled post-consumer waste, using 9 plastic bottles per umbrella.
rPET SCS Recycled Content
Our fabric is certified SCS recycled content. rPET requires less energy and contributes less CO2 to the atmosphere than polyester and nylon fabric production. By diverting plastic bottles from waste streams and giving them a new life as reusable umbrellas, we minimise our environmental impact.
Sustainable Birch Wood
Our handles are handmade using sustainable solid birch wood. All umbrellas are lightweight, compact and feature an automatic push button.
High-Strength Aluminium Frame
Our wind resistant frames are constructed using high-strength aluminium and steel.
