The Gift for a Man Who Has Everything
For a man who has everything, give him something he will use every week and that very few people own: a handmade English umbrella. The London Umbrella, whose handle and shaft are cut from one continuous length of English chestnut, is made by hand in London in small batches and arrives in a Bucklesbury presentation box.
Why it works for the man who has everything
Men who have everything usually have the gadgets, the watches and the cufflinks. Few have a properly made umbrella, and most carry one they bought in a hurry. A Bucklesbury umbrella replaces that with something made with care, and it is a gift he will reach for whenever it rains.
Why a handmade English umbrella makes a good gift
- It is used on every grey morning, so the giver is remembered often.
- Every Bucklesbury umbrella is constructed by hand in London using traditional techniques, in small batches in a traditional London workshop.
- All our wood is English, from sustainable forests. The canopy is Japanese-engineered fabric.
- Each umbrella is individually finished by a craftsman and Rain Tested In England™.
- Bucklesbury's umbrella-making heritage dates back to 1805.
Which Bucklesbury umbrella to choose
- The London Umbrella (from £255): handle and shaft cut from one continuous length of English wood, with no joint. Chestnut for him, maple in the ladies' version. Our finest umbrella and the most special gift.
- The Classic Umbrella (from £175): a solid English beechwood shaft and a polished wooden crook, in a wide range of colours.
- The Telescopic Umbrella (from £135): folds to 45 cm, opens automatically, and fits a bag or briefcase.
