Maglia Francesco Yellow Stripe and Navy Travel Umbrella with Hand-Stitched Leather Handle

Maglia Francesco is one of the last great umbrella companies that crafts their masterpieces completely by hand. This third-generation company has been providing handcrafted, exquisite umbrellas to gentlemen since the 19th Century from Milan, Italy. Each umbrella takes no less than 70 steps to manufacture, each being completed by hand.

This travel-sized, folding umbrella features a subtle yellow-stripe navy canopy with a navy hand-stitched leather handle. Comes with a matching sleeve. The pattern is striking and sophisticated -- exactly what you would expect from an umbrella maker that makes for the likes of Hermes and Channel. It is perfectly appropriate for both gentlemen and ladies.

A proper handmade umbrella from Maglia Francesco is an heirloom that can easily last longer than a generation. If the canopy wears, simply send it back to Maglia Francesco to be re-fitted or repair. While my wife and I were visiting their workshop in Milan, they were actually completely rebuilding Francesco's sister's umbrella. One that she had had for over 30 years!
