A true Gentleman's Umbrella

Rainy days really are very English, and at the moment aren't we all feeling a little frustrated by that particular part of our "Britishness"? Founded in 1750 Swaine Adeney received their first Royal Warrant from George III. In 1943 the company merged with Brigg and Sons the Royal Umbrella Makers. Brigg umbrellas are exquisite items, world renowned for their durability and inimitable class.
With beautifully burnished wooden handles, lustrous sterling silver nose caps and the finest hand woven silks, a Brigg umbrella is as English as the Eton Collar or the Bowler Hat.
With prices starting at around £200, admitedly true style in the rain doesn't come cheap. A particular favourite of ours is the Lizard skin Umbrella (above).
But we say why not embrace Britishness? Go forth armed with a Swaine Adeney Brigg umbrella!
