Folding umbrella

Combining refinement and functionality, the H2O Parapluies folding umbrella embodies the French art of living. Designed to accompany discerning city dwellers wherever they go, this high-end umbrella combines discreet practicality with artisanal excellence. Considered the best compact umbrella, this small 36 cm umbrella, once folded, does not compromise on performance: once opened, it offers generous coverage, with an average diameter of 95 cm, up to 125 cm for golf-type models. Its smooth and precise automatic opening mechanism is a testament to our mastery of every detail. The high-strength steel ribs ensure stability and durability, even in the most persistent gusts of wind. Each of our folding umbrellas is entirely crafted in our workshop-boutique in Crépon, Normandy, one of the last French umbrella manufacturers. This small-scale creative space guarantees bespoke manufacturing, where each step, from cutting the fabric to final assembly, is carried out by hand by our exceptional artisans. Both a distinctive accessory and an everyday companion, this telescopic umbrella stands out for its timeless design, meticulous finish and lifetime guarantee, promising a level of durability rarely seen on the market. A truly useful luxury item, it reflects a philosophy: to create sturdy folding umbrellas that last, enhance life and showcase unique French craftsmanship.

Every folding umbrella by H2O Parapluies is entirely designed and manufactured in France, in the heart of Normandy, in our artisan workshop located in Crépon, not far from Bayeux. This location is not simply a territorial anchor: it embodies the heritage of a rare craftsmanship, preserved by a company that is one of the very last French umbrella manufacturers. Within this umbrella factory, each folding umbrella takes shape in the hands of highly skilled seamstresses, heirs to a precise and rigorous art. From cutting the fabric to the most delicate finishing touches, every stage of production is carried out by hand, in accordance with the highest quality standards. Our collection includes not only folding umbrellas, but also iconic models such as the English umbrella, the golf umbrella and the anti-turning umbrella (also known as the storm umbrella). Each one is imagined, designed, assembled and checked with the same high standards. For lovers of authenticity, our workshop is open to visitors. A privileged immersion behind the scenes of a small-scale French umbrella factory, where you can discover the precise movements, noble materials and discreet excellence of living French craftsmanship.

Designed to meet the demands of a contemporary lifestyle without compromising on elegance, the H2O Parapluies automatic folding umbrella combines refined practicality with technical performance. Thanks to its instant opening system, it unfolds with a simple gesture, offering immediate and reliable protection from the elements. Once folded, it slips easily into its protective case, then into a handbag, satchel or luggage. This retractable umbrella is both compact and lightweight, making it the ideal companion for your travels, whether in the city or on holiday, while retaining a chic and timeless look. Available in a range of elegant colours — deep black, cardinal red, natural beige, or in understated and distinguished patterns — this unisex umbrella is designed for both men and women looking for an accessory that is attractive, reliable and durable. H2O Parapluies' customer satisfaction is no accident. Each model reflects an unwavering commitment to excellence, from the choice of materials to the meticulous assembly.

This customisation option, rare in the world of luxury umbrellas, fully expresses the philosophy of H2O: combining tradition, innovation and distinction. Like the finest pieces of luxury leather goods, your folding umbrella becomes an object of character, designed to last, perhaps passed on, always appreciated.
