Elegant, bold, expressive: the colorful umbrella is an accessory that goes beyond its utilitarian function to become a true statement piece. It reveals a personality, adds color to gray days, and celebrates the French art of living. Discover a collection carried by the Manufacture de Parapluie de Cherbourg, a symbol of craftsmanship and tradition. But then, why make this choice? Is it simply to move away from the 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 bright shade: a strong taste for detail, a sensitivity to beauty, and a certain idea of freedom, even in the rain.
In the collective imagination, the umbrella usually evokes dark, discreet shades, almost invisible in the rain. Yet, it is precisely in these moments of grayness that color finds its full legitimacy. Carrying a colored umbrella is to express a silhouette, set an intention and say something about oneself. At Le Parapluie de Cherbourg, color is never an artifice. Blue, Red, Yellow and much more, each shade is thought out, worked and mastered to dialogue with the lines of the umbrella, the texture of the fabric, the nobility of a wooden handle or the brilliance of golden hardware.
Our collection is made in France at the Manufacture des Parapluies de Cherbourg. It's in the heart of our workshops that we create our iconic creations in a wide range of carefully selected colors. The Antibourrasque, our flagship piece, is renowned for its wind resistance. It's available in Red, English Green and Mint, Navy, Ocean, and Beige, among others. Its powerful and balanced silhouette is a platform for expression for lovers of assertive elegance.
Lighter and designed for travel, Voyageur also comes in bright shades. Easy to slip into a bag, it discreetly accompanies hurried steps, while letting color speak for itself on every outing. The Milady, Demoiselle, Ville, Inséparable or Palace also display elegant shades. From Pink to Bordeaux, including subtle nuances like Anthracite or Khaki depending on the model, at Le Parapluie de Cherbourg, color does not follow gender rules. It is aimed at those who want to combine comfort, distinction and stylistic freedom.
At Le Parapluie de Cherbourg, color is the result of careful thought and attention. Each shade is carefully selected to ensure intensity, depth, and durability. We use high-quality taffeta fabric, stretched with precision over a frame designed to last. This choice guarantees a rich and elegant finish, whatever the weather conditions. In the workshops of the Manufacture des Parapluies de Cherbourg, the gestures are precise, the materials are noble, and the finishes are impeccable. Here, the color is integrated into a coherent whole: it dialogues with the texture of the wood and the choice of hardware. It is a subtle balance between chromatic boldness and technical rigor.
Carrying a colored umbrella means choosing 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 exclude individuality. Cherry red brightens a black coat. Bottle green echoes an ecru bag or scarf. Royal blue brightens a sober suit. Each color can tell a story, and a colorful umbrella becomes an extension of each person's personal style, a way of saying, "I pay attention to every last detail."
