The London Lounge

Hello;

I really want to own a quality British-made umbrella. However, Briggs and Paragon Fox umbrellas are out of my price range - even when on Ebay. Also, the cost of shipping to the US is high.

A website in Canada says it sells umbrellas from Fulton, an English umbrella maker. Do any of you have experience with this brand?

The Huntsman model is what I am looking at buying.

It is described as:

Fulton Full-Length Huntsman Umbrella

Style: Black plated steel shaft and frame, double ribs and thick shaft for added strength, thick curved dark wood handle, manual opening and closing

Material: 100% polyester

Colours: Black

Dimensions: 42" arc when open, 35 1/2" long when closed

Thank you for your help.

I am not an expert, but I am planning to buy an umbrella from this site myself. They seem to have high quality umbrellas, but to a relatively low price.

Smith and Talarico make top-notch umbrellas but are perhaps not as well-known as Fox and Brigg. Perhaps they can be found for better prices on Ebay?

I have not heard of Fulton, but that's not saying much.
