The Gift for a Woman Who Has Everything

For a woman who has everything, give something handmade and rarely owned: a Bucklesbury umbrella made in London. The London Umbrella in its ladies' version is cut from one continuous length of English maple; The Classic Umbrella comes in colours from champagne to pastel blue.

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.
