Since Giorgio Armani established himself through his distinctive style of understatement and elegance in the world of "alta moda", his influence on the fashion world is visible everywhere. He is simply a major force in fashion design! Likewise it is natural that the collection "Giorgio Armani Ombrelli" represents the unique summit of the umbrella world.
Top quality in the use of fabric, colours and prints, large canopies cut in the classical forms, and the wonderful and unusual handles produce an umbrella of the absolute top class.
The umbrellas of Swaine Adeney Brigg are well-known internationally under the "Brigg" name as representative of "the very best of British craftsmanship". The materials used are exquisite and of best quality, with only the finest woods used for the shafts and handles. For gentlemen’s umbrellas we offer only those of the most sturdy construction, with the handle and shaft being one solid and continuous piece of wood. The natural cane handles are made by hand with the controlled application of steam, a process taking several months. All umbrellas have a collar with the coat-of-arms of the Prince of Wales. Brigg has held the title of "Royal umbrella maker" since 1836.
Piero Fornasetti is an Italian painter, sculptor, interior designer, and author of art books. He has been awarded the "Oscar of Fashion" together with Christian Dior and Valentino. His works are exhibited in such famous museums as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
For our "Oertel Handmade" umbrellas we order the most exclusive handles made of precious woods, a variety of natural cane materials, as well as nickel-wood combinations, sterling silver, hand-sewn buffalo leather, and mother-of-pearl. We have these umbrellas covered with the most select fabrics from Great Britain (such as original tartans) and Italy. Fabric from the latter country is mainly made in Como on looms used for producing the finest ties.
We place great value on using only the best possible frames (e.g., the unbreakable Fox frame from England), as well as our own 10-piece frames on a steel shaft with 67 cm ribs. All materials, except the handle and canopy, are made of steel, with no plastic parts used at all. These umbrellas are individually handcrafted.
Only after the overall combination meets our quality standards does it receive the "Oertel Bremen" band on the handle. We send these umbrellas out already with a two-year guarantee, to face any weather, since our demand on the manufacturer is for a product which is extremely strong and robust - and made for English weather!

Moschino umbrellas are unique in the world of umbrellas, full of imagination, exciting, decorative, and beautifully designed. They are simply "definitively different!"
