Your spec

From nylon umbrellas to your most elaborate vision

A single-color Nylon canopy with no branding is straightforward factory work. A fully developed custom umbrella featuring printed / woven care labels, engineered panel layouts, and coordinated handle detailing is the construction our production team handles every week. For most brands, the elaborate end is the standard brief, not the exception.
