Engineered for Australia
Solution-Dyed
Acrylic Fabric
Colour isn’t printed on the surface — it’s baked into every fibre before the yarn is spun. The result is a fabric that resists fading, stretching, and degrading through the harshest Australian summers. Two years in and it still looks brand new.

Double-Tiered
Architecture
The signature double-tiered canopy isn’t just for looks. It allows air to circulate through the top tier, reducing wind resistance and keeping the air underneath noticeably cooler. Form and function, working together.

What People Are Saying
★★★★★
“We looked at every outdoor umbrella on the market before pulling the trigger. The double-tiered design and the fabric quality — nothing else came close. It’s been through two summers and still looks brand new.”
★★★★★
“Saw these on The Block and had to have one. The colour hasn’t faded at all — even after a full Queensland summer by the pool. Friends always ask where it’s from. Worth every cent.”
★★★★★
“I’m a landscape designer and I’ve started specifying these for every client project. The solution-dyed acrylic is the real deal — I’ve tried cheaper alternatives and they fade within a season. These don’t.”
★★★★★
“Bought this as a birthday gift for my husband — he’d been eyeing it for months. Set it up poolside and it completely changed the space. We basically live outside now.”
★★★★★
“Third umbrella I’ve owned — first two from other brands lasted one season each. This one’s built completely different. The aluminium frame, the V3 mechanism, the canvas — it’s just solid.”
★★★★★
“Just the look I needed to finish my Slim Aarons vibe! Super helpful customer service.”

FAQs
Our umbrellas feature premium solution-dyed acrylic fabric, renowned for its exceptional durability. The unique process involves integrating the colour into the acrylic polymer before it's spun into yarn, ensuring the colour isn't just on the surface but runs deeply throughout the fabric. This advanced technique creates a material that's inherently resistant to fading and wear from harsh weather conditions, making it perfectly suited for the demanding Australian climate.
Our umbrellas feature a powder-coated aluminium structure, offering excellent resistance to rust and corrosion.
While our umbrellas are designed to withstand various weather conditions, we recommend using the provided protective cover and closing the umbrella when not in use to extend its lifespan and for safety reasons.
Our umbrellas boast an expansive 3m diameter canopy, providing ample shade and coverage for your outdoor spaces.
The double-tiered design not only adds a touch of elegance but also enhances air circulation and stability, especially in windy conditions.
Our umbrellas are crafted with water resistant fabric, offering reliable protection against rain. While they are primarily designed for sun protection, the unique double-tiered structure may allow some water to pass through during heavy downpours.
The umbrella can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water. For tougher stains, a soft-bristled brush can be used. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the fabric.
Our umbrellas are designed to be easily retracted when not in use. This feature not only helps in protecting the umbrella but also offers flexibility in managing your outdoor space.
Yes, we offer a 1-Year Craftsmanship and 2-Year Fabric Fade Warranty. Learn more HERE
