When choosing an umbrella, we often think about the size, strength, and aesthetics of the fabric, but the umbrella handle is just as essential. It ensures the grip, comfort, and sometimes even the elegance of the accessory. Whether you're looking for an umbrella with a wooden handle for its sturdiness or an ergonomic handle for everyday use, it's important to know the different options available to you. Manufacture De Cherbourg pays particular attention to the finishing touches of its models and designs different handles that combine elegance and practicality to accompany you on a daily basis.
Umbrellas with a straight wooden handle are appreciated for their firm grip and sleek design. Made from Jura hornbeam, a wood renowned for its strength and lightness, these handles are often used on durable and functional models.
The L' Antibourrasque from the Cherbourg Umbrella is an excellent example. Thanks to its straight handle made of Jura hornbeam, it offers a comfortable grip and increased durability. This type of handle is ideal for everyday use, as it allows for a better grip without the risk of slipping.
Unlike straight-handled models, umbrellas with curved handles offer a more ergonomic grip. The chestnut handle provides a more natural feel and better maneuverability, especially when carrying other items at the same time.
Chestnut is a sturdy wood that resists impact and moisture well, making it an ideal choice for a durable umbrella. This shape is particularly practical for hanging the umbrella on your arm when not in use. It's a good option for those looking for a stylish and functional umbrella. Le Parapluie de Cherbourg offers custom-made umbrella models where you can choose between a straight handle made of Jura hornbeam or a curved handle made of chestnut wood.
Choosing an umbrella with a wooden handle means choosing a timeless and durable accessory. Unlike plastic handles, which can wear out quickly, wood is a robust material that ages well and feels pleasant to the touch. Wood species such as Jura hornbeam or chestnut are particularly appreciated for their weather resistance and strength.
The wooden umbrella handle is pleasant to the touch and allows for a comfortable grip, even in the rain. Unlike metal or plastic handles that can become cold or slippery, wood maintains a neutral temperature and does not slip between the fingers.
Umbrellas with wooden handles have a classic and elegant aesthetic. They are suitable for both men and women and complement any outfit, whether casual or more sophisticated.
For those looking for an exceptional umbrella, there are models equipped with sculpted bronze handles. These models are designed in collaboration with specialized artisans, as demonstrated by the limited edition L'Antibourrasque x Tournaire Paris.
These precious metal handles are true works of art, transforming the umbrella into a luxury accessory. They are often chosen for their originality and impeccable finish, but they are less lightweight than wooden handles.
While metal or bronze handles are aesthetically pleasing and luxurious, they are also heavier and sometimes less ergonomic. They are ideal for a formal umbrella and add sophistication to your look, but they can be less practical for everyday use. Metal handles are the way to go to make your umbrella a modern, luxurious, and fashionable accessory.
The choice of umbrella handle depends above all on your use:
If you tend to carry your umbrella on your arm, a curved handle will be more comfortable. On the other hand, if you're looking for a firmer, straighter grip, opt for a model with a straight handle.
Wooden handles are more resistant to impact and wear than plastic or metal handles, making them an excellent choice for a durable umbrella.
Whether you are looking for a wooden handle umbrella for its comfort and elegance, or a more luxurious bronze umbrella handle for an exceptional accessory, the choice of handle is a key element not to be overlooked.
Classic handles, such as those made of Jura hornbeam or chestnut, offer an excellent compromise between strength, comfort, and style. They are ideal for everyday use. Bronze handles, on the other hand, are more suited to lovers of unique pieces and collectors.
