An iconic house of high-end craftsmanship, Le Parapluie de Cherbourg is enriching its universe with a unique creation: the Ombrelle . Dedicated to sunny days and the French art of living, this exceptional piece combines sun protection and refinement, to become a new summer essential. Designed in the same spirit as the house's iconic models, the ombrelle embodies the tradition, excellence and know-how that Le Parapluie de Cherbourg has defended for more than 30 years.
Far from being a simple decorative accessory, the ombrelle designed by Le Parapluie de Cherbourg is a true protective object, elegant and technical. Its 100% polyester canvas has a UV protection factor of 50 , providing a reliable barrier against the sun's rays. It thus meets a growing demand: that of combining aesthetics and functionality, with materials chosen for their performance and durability.
With a diameter of 100 cm and a height of 91 cm, this ombrelle offers generous coverage without weighing down the silhouette. Its controlled weight (between 510 and 525 grams) allows for smooth use and comfortable carrying, including during outdoor events, ceremonies or long summer walks.
Its opening and closing system is entirely manual, respecting the precise and measured gesture that characterizes high-end craftsmanship. The result is a noble object, whose discreet mechanism leaves all the space for the finesse of the form and the quality of the material.
Like all of the brand's models, the ombrelle is handcrafted in the workshops of central Cherbourg. It benefits from the expertise of our craftsmen, trained in the demanding skills of excellent craftsmanship. The assembly of each piece, from the wooden pole to the handle, from the canvas to the finishing ring, is carried out in accordance with the brand's traditions and commitments.
The frame combines a beechwood pole – prized for its stability, nobility and natural beauty – with lightweight and robust carbon steel ribs. This choice of wood and metal alloy ensures theombrelle is highly durable without sacrificing the lightness needed for summer use.
The handle, meanwhile, is straight, made of Jura Hornbeam, a dense and elegant French wood that offers an excellent grip. Every detail counts: the finish of the handle, the texture of the fabric, the perfectly balanced weight. The hardware is not left out, with a stamped ring and 18-carat fine gold finishes, a nod to the silent prestige claimed by Le Parapluie de Cherbourg.
Because theombrelle is also a style accessory, Le Parapluie de Cherbourg has created a palette of refined colors, inspired by nature, the seasons, and emotions. Nine shades make up the first collection:
Each shade allows theombrelle to match an outfit, a season, or a mood. It thus becomes a true fashion accessory, capable of highlighting a silhouette or setting the tone for an event. Whether for a wedding, a garden party, or a seaside getaway, it fits naturally into any summer setting.
Since its inception, Le Parapluie de Cherbourg has designed pieces built to last, at the crossroads of elegance and technology. The ombrelle is a natural fit in this tradition. It is not a derivative of the umbrella, but a product in its own right, designed to meet the uses and requirements of the house's customers.
By opting for French raw materials, favoring local and artisanal manufacturing, and integrating precious finishes, the house continues to defend the values of craftsmanship, authenticity and transmission. Theombrelle extends this vision: that of a useful and beautiful accessory, which transcends the seasons and is long-lasting.
With this launch, Le Parapluie de Cherbourg is reviving an elegant, almost forgotten tradition: theombrelle as an object of distinction. It evokes elegant seaside women, refined silhouettes in the sunshine of a garden, and the subtle grace that only a well-designed piece can offer.
The new ombrelle is available to order on the official website of Parapluie de Cherbourg. Each piece is handmade and delivered with care, in a suitable box. It is also possible to benefit from gift wrapping, to offer the ombrelle on the occasion of a wedding , a birthday or a summer celebration.
Like all of the brand's models, theombrelle comes with a two-year warranty, demonstrating the brand's ongoing commitment to quality and service. Combining textile innovation, respect for tradition, and French elegance, this new product embodies the brand's spirit: an exceptional manufacturer dedicated to creating beautiful objects.
With this ombrelle , Le Parapluie de Cherbourg makes a remarkable entry into the world of sun accessories. Designed to last, designed to seduce, and made with the same high standards as the brand's iconic umbrellas, it stands out as a seasonal item, but not a temporary one. True to the spirit of the brand, it combines expertise, high standards, and poetry.
As summer approaches, it's time to rediscover the pleasure of protecting yourself from the sun in style. And what could be more elegant than a handcrafted ombrelle , created in a French workshop and designed to enhance every moment?
