Bucklesbury umbrella sizes at a glance

Which size should I choose?

What size umbrella covers one person well?

A canopy of around 100 cm across covers one adult comfortably. Our canopies are 106 cm across on the Classic and London umbrellas, 102 cm on the Telescopic Umbrella and 92 cm on the London Ladies Umbrella.

Should I choose a full-length or a telescopic umbrella?

A full-length umbrella, such as the Classic or the London Umbrella, is carried furled, hangs over the arm by its crook handle and gives the most generous cover. The Telescopic Umbrella folds to 45 cm, so it fits in a bag or briefcase for travel and commuting.

Will a Bucklesbury umbrella fit in a suitcase?

The Telescopic Umbrella, at 45 cm folded, fits in most suitcases and many larger bags. The Classic Umbrella (about 91 cm) and the London Umbrella (93 cm) are designed to be carried.

Is there a smaller umbrella for women?

Yes. The London Ladies Umbrella is 86.5 cm long with a canopy 92 cm across, and is made from one continuous length of English maple. All our Classic and Telescopic umbrellas are suitable for men and women.

Which umbrella is best for a wedding?

Ivory white is the traditional choice for a bride, in a full-length umbrella. See our wedding umbrellas.
