The Oertel Handmade Whangee/Bamboo was presented as a gift by the Federal President to King Charles III at Windsor Castle.This umbrella is a rare treasure and an example of true traditional umbrella craftsmanship in perfection.
The attention is automatically drawn to the unusual handle made of whangee bamboo. The wood is specially selected for each umbrella to fit the diameter of the handle shaft. It looks like a solid one piece stick and handle. This handcrafted gentlemen’s umbrella comes with a 20 mm shaft made of beech wood for extra stability. The frame is especially stable and consists of 10 black lacquered very strong ribs. The canopy is made of a high-quality deep black polyester fabric.
No plastic parts are used for this umbrella. All technical details normally visible are sewn with fabric making them invisible. It comes with a case made of the same material as the canopy for protection if, for example, the umbrella is used as a walking stick. We also include a black cloth carrying bag to protect the entire umbrella, including canopy and handle.
Each umbrella has been individually handcrafted in Europe, drawing on our 135 years of experience!
