At Umbrellissimo, we celebrate the umbrella not just as a necessity but as a statement of elegance and innovation. But have you ever wondered how this essential accessory came to be?
The umbrella’s story begins over 4,000 years ago in ancient Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia, where it was first designed as a sunshade for the elite. It wasn’t until the Chinese waterproofed them with wax and lacquer that they became practical for rain.
Fast forward to 17th-century Europe, where umbrellas were seen as a luxury for women—until British gentleman Jonas Hanway broke the mold, making them fashionable for men, too. Since then, umbrellas have evolved from delicate paper structures to wind-resistant, automatic, and even smart designs.
At Umbrellissimo, we honor this legacy by crafting umbrellas that blend sophistication, durability, and modern technology. Because style and function should never be compromised.
