J'ai eu le coup de cœur sur ce parapluie. Il est vraiment beau, si bien que je l'emporte avec moi partout (même s'il ne pleut pas). Merci je recommande !
Good umbrella. Not very big. Comfortable to handle.
Le parapluie est bien fait, seul le dôme est très petit. Des fils dépassent un peu du coffre, j'ai dû les retoucher avant de l'offrir à ma femme. Le tissu du dôme ne laisse pas passer l'eau et sèche très vite, il est donc efficace pour le soleil aussi. Cependant, il ne résistera pas aux rafales de vent, la construction est très délicate. Mais il est léger et élégant.
Bon produit, merci.
Il a l'air bien, il pèse assez lourd, ce qui me rassure en cas de pluie et de vent. Je n'ai jamais vu de parapluie avec des ressorts dans les baleines, une vraie garantie de qualité.
Il est un peu difficile à ouvrir complètement les premières fois, et à le remettre dans la housse, mais il est vraiment aussi petit que promis lorsqu'il est replié sans compromettre sa taille une fois ouvert. Le matériau du parapluie est bon, mais la tige semble un peu fragile.
Bien...
Je croyais qu'il s'ouvrait et se fermait automatiquement, mais en fait il se ferme manuellement. J'avais mal lu la description.
assez lourd c'est bien, les baleines sont beaucoup courbées donc ça couvre pas une très grande surface. Mais ça correspond à la photo
c’est pas mal, il a vraiment beaucoup de baleines j'aime beaucoup
Pas encore reçu, je suis pressé
bien
Le parapluie est solide et vraiment bien, il protège bien contre la pluie et les grosses rafales de vent, donc c’est top. Par contre, il est un peu plus lourd qu’un parapluie classique.
Comme sur les photos, il y a moins de baleines et le tissu est assez fin.
ça vaut le prix
il est assez lourd quand meme mais visuellement il a l’air solide. je testerai quand il pleuvra, pour l’instant ça a l’air bien 👍
Le produit est pas mal, ça fait bien le job. J’aime bien, franchement.
Clairement assez lourd. Le parapluie du patron, style chauffeur ou garde du corps 😂
plutôt léger, la longueur est nickel donc c’est sympa. par contre c’est pas vraiment fait pour servir de parasol (logique c'est un parapluie). je l’ai pas encore utilisé donc je sais pas encore si ça protège bien de la pluie. la poignée fait un peu de bruit, mais elle se détache pas.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a folding umbrella and a pocket umbrella?
A folding umbrella uses a collapsible shaft to reduce its overall size for carrying and storage. A pocket umbrella is a more compact interpretation of the same principle, with particular emphasis on minimal folded dimensions. Pocket designs are therefore folding umbrellas, while the broader folding category also includes larger models.
Which folding umbrella size should I choose?
Compare both the folded length and the open canopy dimensions rather than focusing on a single measurement. A shorter folded umbrella is convenient inside a bag, while a broader open canopy provides more room when the rain begins.
Is an automatic folding umbrella more convenient?
Automatic operation can be particularly useful when you need to deploy your umbrella quickly or only have one hand available. Depending on the design, the button may control opening alone or assist both opening and closing.
Are folding umbrellas suitable for travelling?
Their compact construction makes folding umbrellas particularly convenient for trips, commuting and days spent exploring a city. They fit easily into many bags and suitcases. When flying, check the baggage and security requirements that apply to your journey.
How should a folding umbrella be dried after use?
Whenever possible, leave the umbrella open in a suitable well-ventilated area until the canopy has dried. Avoid storing it wet and tightly folded inside its sleeve or bag for long periods. Proper drying helps care for the canopy, moving components and frame.
What makes a good-quality folding umbrella?
Look beyond appearance and consider the frame, ribs, canopy material, opening mechanism, handle and overall finishing. The relationship between weight, folded dimensions and open coverage is equally important.

How to Choose an Umbrella
Folding or stick, compact or large, lightweight or windproof: Capucine, a writer at Umbrella Paris, explains the criteria she truly considers when choosing an umbrella suited to her needs.
A folding umbrella made for everyday life
A folding umbrella is an easy companion for days when the weather refuses to make up its mind. Its collapsible construction reduces its size when not in use, making it much easier to carry in a handbag, backpack, briefcase or suitcase than a traditional full-length design.
That convenience makes folding designs especially useful for commuting, travelling and everyday city life. Choosing one, however, involves more than simply finding the smallest possible dimensions. Canopy size, frame construction, handle comfort, weight and opening mechanism all influence how pleasant an umbrella is to use.
What should you look for in a folding umbrella?
Think first about where you intend to carry it. If it will spend most of its time inside a bag, compact folded dimensions and manageable weight are particularly useful. If generous rain coverage matters more, a slightly larger folded umbrella may provide a broader canopy once opened.
Opening systems are worth considering too. Our automatic umbrellas are particularly convenient when stepping out of a car or building and you need quick protection. Travellers looking to minimise the space taken up by their rain gear can also explore our pocket umbrellas.
Practical proportions with a refined appearance
Portability does not have to come at the expense of style. Balanced proportions, a well-finished canopy and thoughtfully designed details can transform an everyday rain accessory into something you are happy to carry regularly.
Our selection of premium folding umbrellas brings together compact formats and an elegant approach to everyday protection. If portability is less important and you prefer the distinctive proportions of a traditional design, browse our long umbrellas for an entirely different silhouette.
