An umbrella from Cherbourg is also a family heritage, it is a benevolence object by its very symbolism. When we offer it to a loved one, it means shelter and offer it a companion in uncertain times.
In addition to being the guarantor of all your adventures, it is not uncommon that thanks to its very high quality and robustness, this emblematic object becomes an inheritance and that pretty family stories are written around its handle which is patina over time.
In this new year, Le Parapluie de Cherbourg wanted to spoil you by offering the winner an anti -Bourrasque umbrella in the color of his choice. We wanted to give one of you the opportunity to bring a story to this traveling companion.
We called this competition "Once upon a time" . Indeed, at the Manufacture , we are curious to know your most beautiful travel memories and your sharing stories around our dear and tender umbrellas. We collected by email your writings until January 23, 2022 midnight. On January 24 , one of our talented little hands, our Julia boutique manager, drawn the lucky winner.
Rain day, wind day
Winter here is like that usually
To endure the bad weather
To be able to leave my apartment, my shelter
I would so much like to have a magic power
Not an invisibility cape, but a climate shield
The day, everything is good to escape humidity
But how to easily protect yourself
From my house, through the window, the look raised
All day long, in my head and in my heart, a miracle is hoped
Days after day, up to the bones, during my walks in town, the rain my soaked
Days after day, my body and my mind, sadly, have emptied
And then, with its lights, illuminated windows, Christmas has arrived
Of all this, more than wet, impossible to be able to fully enjoy
For a nice gift to make me, in this beautiful evening
Friends and children have grouped
Under the tree, of a thousand balls, lit
Like an enchanted, beautifully wrapped tube
Like a dream that seems to take reality
I open this package, I feel vibrated
It is beautiful ... No, he is sumptuous, he seems so solid
I feel that I will be able, in the streets, wander and outside face the rain and the covid
The next day, and now every day
I'm going to walk my city and go through life, with my friend, my Cherbourg umbrella
