For light drizzles, heavy downpours and everything in between, London’s Swaine Adeney Brigg crafts umbrellas so beautifully made even Mary Poppins would admire them. Each umbrella features a solid hickory, ash, cherry, chestnut, oak or maple pole, finished with handmade springs and plated gold or silver fittings, and topped with hand-sewn canopies. That meticulous attention to detail and quality earned the company its first Royal Appointment for umbrella making from Queen Victoria in 1892.
Today Swaine Adeney Brigg holds an official Royal Warrant and serves as Supplier of Umbrellas to the Prince of Wales. The firm produces both men’s and ladies’ styles that carry the company’s distinguished name, reflecting its long tradition of British craftsmanship.
If you’re visiting London, stop by the Swaine Adeney Brigg shop for an elegant and practical gift — whether for yourself or someone you want to keep dry in style. The retail store is located at No. 7 Piccadilly Arcade in St. James’s, and a flagship location is planned to open later this year in Mayfair. Their range includes men’s, ladies’ and travel umbrellas, golf umbrellas, and a curated selection of hats and fine leather goods, from briefcases and luggage to suit carriers and bespoke trunks.
For anyone who values heritage, durability and classic design, an umbrella from Swaine Adeney Brigg is both a useful accessory and a lasting keepsake.
