Founded in 1986, Le Parapluie de Cherbourg has earned the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label for its unique know-how. Entirely hand-crafted by 7 versatile manufacturers, its products of excellence aim for zero fault, zero defect. Quality control at every stage and noble materials have elevated these French umbrellas to the status of luxury products. Leather finishings, gold fittings, refinement knows no bounds. Seduced by this handcrafted, made-to-measure expertise, high-end fashion brands have adopted our made-in-France umbrellas. Luxury houses such as LVMH and Richemont offer several models for men and women.
Different types of precious wood, solid carbon or fiber ribs depending on the model, silky fabrics... at the factory, the materials used for our French umbrellas are carefully selected. Rush, for its strength and light veil of natural varnish, will improve over time. Each chestnut handle is made by a craftsman from his isolated mountain plantation - he cuts, smokes and varnishes each branch of wood... The hornbeam handle comes from the Jura. The canvas is made from a polyester fabric selected for its silky feel and resistance to rain. The pole, made of beech or metal, is extremely sturdy. The carbon steel ribs fight the wind valiantly. As for the more flexible fiberglass ribs, they can withstand gusts of 155km/h without splitting.
The Manufacture des Parapluies de Cherbourg has been awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label. This label testifies to the company's commitment to the local community.
Awarded by the French government according to precise criteria, it rewards small and medium-sized companies for their renowned craftsmanship. And "validates" French manufacturing and its excellence.
