Pre-launch · Kickstarter coming

Don't hide your umbrella.

A fashion umbrella you carry on purpose — colourful, collectible, and hard to leave behind. Made to order, in numbered editions.

One email when the first canopies go up for a vote. No spam, no resale.

An umbrella is the one thing you own that you were taught to be a little embarrassed by.

Black. Forgettable. Left on the train the day it stopped raining.

It should be a thing you wear — and bring home.

The system

Built to be seen, and kept.

Canopies worth showing

Artwork printed panel to panel, colour on the ribs — not another black dome.

Heads you collect

The tip unclips. Swap it, trade it, move one set of parts across several canopies.

Find-me, no app

A handle and a wrist piece stay paired by magnet. Walk off without it and your wrist buzzes. No phone, no account.

Light enough to keep on you

Non-negotiable: small and light enough to live in the bag you already carry.

Concept canopies

Help choose the first ones.

Support is free and tells us what to print first. When enough people reserve an edition, it goes into production — numbered, and only once.

Counts stay private for now — we're measuring real interest, not running a popularity contest.

Made to order

How a canopy becomes a real umbrella.

  1. It enters the gallery

    A design, a name, a short reason it should exist.

  2. People support it

    A free signal — "I'd carry this" — tied to that exact artwork.

  3. Reservation opens

    Close to production, supporters put down a deposit. That's the real demand.

  4. Production runs

    Once paid reservations clear the factory minimum, the edition is confirmed.

  5. You get a numbered one

    Print test, cutting, first sample, shipping — followed the whole way. № 037 / 200.

Questions

The honest answers.

Is this a "smart umbrella"?
Barely. There's a quiet anti-loss pairing — a handle and a wrist piece linked by magnet, no app, no account. Everything else is just a very good umbrella you'd want to be seen with. The first generation does not touch your phone.
When can I actually get one?
We're choosing the first canopies with the people on this list, then running a Kickstarter to fund the first production run. Join now and you help pick — and get first access.
How light? Will it fit my bag?
That's the whole point, and the one thing we won't trade away. Small enough and light enough to keep on you every day — a collectible you actually bring, not one that lives in a drawer.
Made where?
We're finishing supplier selection now. The bar: a canopy that keeps the artwork crisp with no wrinkles or misprint, and a frame that survives real weather. Made to order, in small numbered editions rather than a warehouse of stock.
What is "Second Chance"?
Lose your umbrella and you can buy the same edition once more at a reduced price, tied to 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.
