About Salted Butter

Bring Sun-Drenched Charm Home with Salted Butter: A Warm, Vintage-Inspired Umbrella

Our newest colourway is here. Salted Butter is now available for pre-sale.

Introducing the Salted Butter Umbrella from Retro Umbrella Co. — a deliciously warm combination of soft butter yellow and crisp white, designed to bring a little sunshine to your outdoor space. Inspired by the nostalgic charm of classic European and Palm Springs interiors, Salted Butter makes a statement without overpowering its surroundings.

Double-Tiered Sophistication with Retro Charm

The Salted Butter Umbrella features our signature double-tiered canopy and scalloped valances, bringing an unmistakable vintage character to your outdoor setting. The layered construction adds visual depth while encouraging airflow through the canopy, keeping the space beneath cool and comfortable.

A Soft, Sunny Colourway

Combining buttery yellow and clean white panels, Salted Butter is designed to complement warm timber, natural stone, greenery and poolside settings. It's playful enough to stand out, yet timeless enough to become a lasting feature of your outdoor space.

Premium Weather-Resistant Fabric

Crafted from durable, solution-dyed acrylic fabric, the canopy is designed to resist fading and withstand the demands of outdoor living, helping Salted Butter stay beautiful season after season.

Built for Everyday Outdoor Living

An aluminium frame and sliding mechanism, paired with stainless steel fixtures, provide a strong and practical construction while maintaining the refined look of the umbrella.

Expansive 3m Diameter Coverage

With a generous 3m canopy, Salted Butter provides ample shade for poolside lounging, long lunches, outdoor entertaining and slow afternoons in the garden.

User-Friendly Quad Pulley System

Our 4x pulley system makes raising and lowering the canopy simple, so you can spend less time setting up and more time enjoying the shade.

Protective Cover Included

Every Salted Butter Umbrella comes with a complimentary protective cover, helping protect your umbrella from the elements when it's not in use.

Bases, weight plates and wind: the fine print

Sold only with our umbrellas. Bases and weight plates are available only with the purchase of a Retro Umbrella Co. umbrella.

How the wind test was done. Our umbrella was tested in a wind tunnel to 60 km/h, open, on our 24.5kg base, on a flat, level surface in controlled conditions. Outdoor wind is gustier and less predictable, and slopes, soft or uneven ground, rooftops, coastal and other exposed sites all change how an umbrella behaves. Treat the test as a guide, not a guarantee of how it will perform where you use it.

  • Extra weight improves stability, but no base or weight makes an umbrella windproof.
  • Always close your umbrella and fit the cover when it is unattended, not in use, or wind is forecast. Never leave it open in strong wind or bad weather.
  • Use on a flat, level and stable surface. Before opening, check the pole is fully seated and the upright is tightened, and recheck it regularly.
  • For exposed locations, and for commercial or hospitality use, additional securing may still be required.
  • The extra weight plate fits our bases bought from March 2026 onwards. Not sure which base you have? Email us before ordering.
  • Bases and plates are heavy (about 25kg each). Lift with care, get a second person to help if needed, and don’t let children climb on, swing from or play with the umbrella or base.
  • Follow the set-up instructions and care guide supplied with your umbrella.

Damage caused by wind, storms, hail or other weather, accidents, misuse, improper installation, or not following these notes and our set-up and care instructions is not covered by our warranty. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, and nothing in these notes limits those rights. Warranty information.

Shade

Will it shade my table?

Yes. A 3m canopy covers a six-seat table through the middle of the day. Late afternoon the shade shifts a metre or two, so set the base slightly towards the sun.
