What if true elegance were also found in the amplitude of a gesture, in the luxury of shared shade, and in the simplicity of reliable protection? At the Manufacture de Parapluie de Cherbourg, the large umbrella doesn't do things by halves. It embraces space, assumes its stature, and transforms rain into an opportunity to stand out. Far beyond its size, it's a companion with character, an object designed to last, to stand out with restraint, and to truly protect. A companion for capricious days and a refined signature, the large umbrella combines style, protection, and expertise. A closer look at an accessory that doesn't go unnoticed.
Faced with a sudden downpour or unpredictable weather, a large umbrella changes everything. Its generous span protects not only the wearer, but also the person next to them. Perfect as an umbrella for two, it shelters shoulders, bags, coats, and even backrests. Nothing sticks out and everything is protected. Like the Le Palace or Le Golfmodels, with their impressive diameter of 127 cm, discover umbrellas that embody this desire to cover everything in width without ever losing elegance. These are large umbrellas designed to face gusts of wind without bending; solid, stable, and always reassuring. More compact, but just as reliable, the Pébroque models with their 115 cm canopy and le Sport with their 113 cm canopy, also brilliantly meet the demands of everyday life. These XXL umbrellas do not falter and they always silently accompany those who refuse to compromise.
A giant umbrella only makes sense if it holds its own. At the Manufacture des Parapluies de Cherbourg, each XL model boasts a structure that remains loyal in all circumstances thanks to a reinforced frame, a dense, water-repellent canvas, a fluid mechanism, and, of course, a neat handle. The goal is simple: to offer a very large umbrella that's as pleasant to handle as it is to carry, all without excess weight or imbalance. Just a perfect fit, one that withstands gusts and fits comfortably into everyday life. Some models on the market have a wingspan of 150 cm, but ours prioritize balance and maneuverability. At 127 cm, le Golf and le Palace offer generous, yet not excessive, coverage, ideal for both city and country use.
There is a kind of generosity in the 2-person umbrella: that of shared space, of walking together on a wet street, and of exchanging glances sheltered from the world. This is all offered by a large, sturdy umbrella: a complicit elegance, a shelter that is both functional and sentimental. Like the Golf or the Palace, these models create a bubble of comfort, like those stolen moments that the rain makes even more intimate. Their wide silhouette weighs nothing down; on the contrary, it envelops. It's an umbrella you don't borrow, but one you keep. It's the one that waits by the door, always ready and always reliable.
Choosing a large umbrella or an XXL model means choosing a look. That of an upright carriage, a calm presence, a taste for durable and well-made objects. Thele Sportmodel, with its dynamic shape, appeals to lively minds, while le Pébroque, with its more classic charm, attracts lovers of French tradition. Whatever the model, these large umbrellas mark a silhouette without dominating it. They match long coats, capes, well-cut suits. They reveal attention to detail, a desire to stand out without ever overdoing it.
The diameter of an umbrella is not simply a technical specification. It reflects a way of inhabiting the world, of moving with confidence, and of refusing to improvise. A large umbrella is a space for oneself and for others. It provides lasting shelter and represents a comfort that one chooses. It says that one plans ahead and prefers beautiful, durable objects to those that are ephemeral and disposable. This is why the XXL umbrellas designed at the Manufacture des Parapluies de Cherbourg are unlike any other. They combine support, presence, and longevity. Their manufacture meets the same requirements as the smaller models, with the added soul that their large size imposes: a demand for precision and a perfect harmony of technique and style.
Ultimately, choosing a very large umbrella isn't just about functionality. It's about adopting a vision of everyday life where every detail counts and where we prefer sure actions to hasty solutions. At Le Parapluie de Cherbourg, models like Le Palace, Le Golf, Le Sport or Le Pébroque are testament to demanding know-how and an elegance that doesn't fear the rain. Because a beautiful umbrella, when it's well designed, is never too big. Its wingspan is simply tailored to your needs.
