Elegant, bold, expressive: the colorful umbrella is an accessory that transcends its utilitarian function to become a true style statement. It reveals personality, brightens up gray days, and celebrates the French art of living. Discover a collection from the Cherbourg Umbrella Factory, a symbol of craftsmanship and tradition. But why make this choice? Is it simply to move away from classic black, or is it a more subtle way to stand out? Behind a colorful umbrella often lies much more than a desire for a vibrant hue: a keen eye for detail, a sensitivity to beauty, and a certain idea of freedom, even in the rain.
In the collective imagination, umbrellas usually evoke dark, discreet hues, almost invisible in the rain. Yet, it is precisely in these gray moments that color finds its true purpose. Carrying a colorful umbrella is to express a silhouette, to make an intention, and to say something about oneself. At Le Parapluie de Cherbourg, color is never an artifice. Blue, red, yellow, and many more—each shade is carefully considered, crafted, and mastered to harmonize with the umbrella's lines, the fabric's texture, the elegance of a wooden handle, or the gleam of gilded fittings.
Our collection is made in France at the Cherbourg Umbrella Factory. It is in the heart of our workshops that we create our iconic designs in a wide range of carefully selected colors. The Antibourrasque, our flagship model, is renowned for its wind resistance. It is available in Red, British Racing Green, Mint, Navy, Ocean Blue, and Beige, among others. Its strong and balanced silhouette offers a canvas for those who appreciate assertive elegance.
Lighter and designed for travel, Voyageur also comes in luminous shades. Easy to slip into a bag, it discreetly accompanies those hurried steps, while letting color shine on every outing. The Milady, Demoiselle, Ville, Inséparable, and Palace umbrellas also boast elegant hues. From Rose to Bordeaux, including subtle shades like Anthracite or Khaki depending on the model, at Le Parapluie de Cherbourg, color doesn't follow gender rules. It's for those who want to combine comfort, distinction, and stylistic freedom.
At Le Parapluie de Cherbourg, color is the result of meticulous attention to detail and careful consideration. Each shade is selected with care to guarantee intensity, depth, and lasting beauty. We use a high-quality taffeta fabric, precisely stretched over a frame designed for durability. This choice ensures a rich and elegant finish, whatever the weather. In the workshops of the Cherbourg Umbrella Factory, the work is precise, the materials are exquisite, and the finishes are impeccable. Here, color is integrated into a coherent whole: it interacts with the texture of the wood and the choice of hardware. It's a subtle balance between chromatic boldness and technical excellence.
Carrying a colorful umbrella is a choice not to blend into the background. It's injecting light into gray days, reminding us that elegance can also be joyful, that refinement doesn't preclude individuality. A cherry red brightens a black coat. A bottle green echoes an ecru bag or scarf. A royal blue illuminates a simple suit. Each color can tell a story, and a colorful umbrella thus becomes an extension of one's personal style, a way of saying: "I pay attention to every detail."

It's investing in an object designed to last and to withstand the elements with robustness and elegance. Thanks to the quality of their materials and meticulous handcrafting, they resist the test of time while retaining the intensity of their colors. And if, over time, the fabric were to deteriorate or the mechanism to lose precision, the Manufacture des Parapluies de Cherbourg offers a dedicated repair service. Carried out with expert skill, it will restore each umbrella to its original splendor and brilliance. An umbrella to keep, to care for, to pass down: that's what fundamentally distinguishes it from disposable items.

Whether it's a Red Anti-Burning Umbrella, a Yellow Traveler, or a Marine City Umbrella, for example, each model can be personalized with embroidered initials, a matching cover, or a choice of handle.
