The designs
Discover the first designs.
Our first designs are taking shape. Explore the collection and help us choose which ones come to life.
Supporting a design is free: you leave your email for that design, and it is not an order. Counts stay private for now — we're measuring real interest, not running a popularity contest. · Made a design yourself? Try it on a canopy →
A favourite umbrella. Imagine that.
You choose a coat or a scarf with care.
We’d like you to choose your umbrella the same way, and be glad to take it out.
And hope you haven’t left it at the café.
The umbrella
Beautiful, and still practical.
What we know today, and what we'll only confirm once a printed sample exists.
One clear price
We expect €55–65 for a printed umbrella. The final price is set when the Kickstarter opens.
Find Me, engraved
The brand, "Find Me" and your number are engraved inside the handle. Whoever picks yours up installs nothing and scans nothing — one short web page, and you get a photo and a map link. Try the demo version of the page →
Light enough to keep on you
Small and light enough to live in your bag. Our suppliers give 110–135 g for the umbrellas we're testing, before our print. We'll publish the real weight after we weigh a printed sample.

Your favourites help us decide which designs to bring to life.
Be first in line
Get notified when our Kickstarter campaign launches. No obligation to buy.
Supporting a design is not a purchase, and a popular design is not guaranteed to be made. Pre-orders only open with the Kickstarter, and an edition is produced once it has enough backers.
Questions
The honest answers.
Can I buy one now?
Not yet. Nothing is on sale today. Pre-orders will open with our Kickstarter campaign,
which hasn't launched. We don't have a date yet; people on the list will hear first.
How much will it cost?
We expect €55–65 for a printed umbrella, with shipping on top. The final price is set
when the Kickstarter opens, and it will be one simple price, not a fake discount.
Designs marked Pro are priced by their artist, so they may cost more; their price is announced at launch too.
How are the first designs chosen?
Support from visitors is the main signal. We also look at how each design prints and
what the factory can make in small runs. A popular design helps, but it is not a guarantee.
How light? Will it fit my bag?
That's the one thing we won't trade away. The umbrellas we're testing weigh 110–135 g
according to our suppliers, before our full-canopy print. We'll publish the real weight once we've
weighed a printed sample.
What is confirmed so far?
We have chosen the supplier for the six-panel version: a 100 cm manual frame
with six ribs, an aluminium shaft and carbon-fibre ribs. The five-panel version is still being
discussed with suppliers. Weight, final materials and sun-protection results come after the printed sample.
Does it protect from the sun?
It gives shade, like any umbrella. Our suppliers describe their fabrics as UV-blocking,
but we haven't tested our printed version yet, so we don't promise UV protection.
Why we wait for a test →
When would it arrive?
After the Kickstarter, the factory needs time to print, make and ship each edition.
We'll give a real timeline in the campaign, once the order is fixed.
Is each design limited?
Each production run is a numbered edition. A design that sells through can come back
as a new edition, so you won't miss it forever — but every piece is numbered, and № 001 of each
design carries the name of the artist who drew it.
What is "Second Chance"?
Lose your umbrella and you can buy the same design again at a reduced price, keeping
your original number. Losing an umbrella shouldn't also mean losing the design you chose.
France only?
Starting close to home in France, shipping wider with the Kickstarter. Join the list
from anywhere — it helps us show backers where the demand is.
