Why choose a colored umbrella?

The colored umbrella to brighten up your day

If a colored umbrella doesn't make you happy, it's impossible to deny that it can put you in a good mood... You've probably noticed the "skies" of multicolored umbrellas that are appearing more and more often above the streets? These ephemeral installations, which amaze passers-by, young and old, leave no one indifferent.

Obviously, sporting a colorful umbrella is good for your morale. This reassuring bubble of color rhymes with a positive attitude. We now know that colors influence our state of mind, so why not play with it? Since the joy of living is contagious, this is an excellent reason to be inspired by colorful umbrella models!

A colorful umbrella to match your outfit... or your mood of the day

Gloomy weather doesn't mean you can't see the bright side of life, nor can you have a certain sense of elegance. Depending on your mood, you might be tempted to brave the elements with panache or blend seamlessly into the landscape, but always with style.

To achieve this in style, there is the colorful umbrella. Elegant, inspiring, just coordinate it with your look or decline it in your favorite color for it to become the key element of an outfit. In bold contrast or in discreet monochrome, the colored umbrella brings that little extra that makes all the difference and becomes much more than a practical accessory. Plain, printed or embroidered with your initials, available in bright or sober shades, it offers a multitude of possibilities to see life in color! A little happiness to savor alone or in pairs depending on the size of the umbrella, while waiting for the return of the sun...

Le Parapluie de Cherbourg invites you to explore the world of the multi-colored umbrella through luxurious models available across the entire rainbow palette.

Which color to choose?

Flowers have their own language, so why not colorful umbrellas? Here's a quick overview to help you make your choice...

The blue umbrella, a classic that inspires serenity

Colors drawn from the blue range evoke the sky and the sea in all their nuances. Peaceful and timeless, this shade is a classic that's easy to match. Blue is also one of the colors that brings the most serenity.

For all models in the Le Parapluie de Cherbourgcollection, blue is available in navy and ocean. In addition to these two essential shades, cobalt blue and sky blue are added for the Milady models (which also come in navy blue moiré in the collector's version), as well as the Demoiselle, Ville, Voyageur and Antibourrasque models.

Blue is highlighted in a navy version through several collaborations (Élysée, Bleuet de France, Inès de la Fressange, Marine Nationale, Saint-James) but also in a denim spirit, with a sublime sky blue denim umbrella created with the brand 1083.

The green umbrella, vital impulse and natural spirit

In keeping with activities such as le golf or a walk in the forest, green is the color of hope and, of course, symbolizes nature. Very trendy, the color green combines equally well with a classic look as with a modern and bold one. The Milady, Demoiselle, Palace, Ville, Voyageur, Antibourrasque, Golf, Sport, Pébroque, and Milord models are available in English green. For the Intemporel, Le Parapluie de Cherbourg has opted for a jade green that is as original as it is refined.

The gray, beige or brown umbrella, chic and refined

From charcoal gray to dark brown, including beige and mocha, these neutral shades with a mineral feel celebrate understated elegance. Both natural and sophisticated, they exude a certain softness. Eternally chic and appropriate for an umbrella, they remain an excellent way to add color to an outfit without overdoing it.

The yellow or orange umbrella, a touch of fantasy

To stand out from the crowd, let yourself be inspired by the dynamism of vibrant, tangy shades. Alongside the models from the Le Parapluie de Cherbourg collection, such as the umbrella used by Lupin in the French series, these bright shades also spice up le Milady and the nautical-inspired Saint-James.

The red umbrella, a communicative energy

The red palette conveys a message of strength and self-confidence. The color of love par excellence, but also of revolution, this strong color symbolizes a certain audacity. Between a bright, sparkling red umbrella or a deep, elegant burgundy model, the choice is yours!

The distinguished charm of a white umbrella

Symbolically strong, white colors, including ivory and ecru, are traditionally associated with weddings. But the color white is not only reserved for this grand event. This delicate shade looks great on an umbrella or ombrelle, and is available in both men's and women's versions on many classic and collector's items from Le Parapluie de Cherbourg.

The multi-colored umbrella

Let's not forget the multicolored umbrellas! Printed or embroidered, they come in all styles and an infinite variety of graphic themes to personalize your look as desired.

Le parapluie de Cherbourg has chosen to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the D-Day landings by creating the D-Day model, a blue umbrella, entirely embroidered with white patterns. Still paying homage to Normandy, discover another equally iconic and delightfully retro model, the result of our collaboration with the Kiplay Vintage brand.

Can't decide between a solid-colored or printed umbrella? L’Inséparable, our unisex umbrella adorned with contrasting embroidery, offers the perfect compromise. True to its name, it also comes in a children's version, so everyone can enjoy their own little bubble of happiness.

Finally, please note that all models of the Parapluie de Cherbourg can be decorated with embroidery of your initials, tone on tone or in a different color for even more originality.
