Each umbrella model is evaluated using controlled wind simulation and real-world field trials to measure frame deflection, structural stability, and recovery under high-wind conditions. Select testing conducted at MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Hardware and attachments use authentic metal and leather.  We love understated elegance.  We love design cues that communicate authenticity and attention to detail.  Yes, our umbrellas are durable and guaranteed to last. They also provide a contemporary and striking aesthetic appeal. 

Each canopy is made with an incredibly thin yet strong 210-thread-count microfiber fabric, treated with a water-repellent coating. It repels water better than any other fabric on the market. The fabric stretches tight over reinforced ribs, creating a taut, deeper dome. The dense fiber count also accounts for their quicker-than-average drying time. The higher thread count and treatment makes water just bead and roll right off.

Like anyone, we like compact things.  We know it’s important that our umbrellas fit effortlessly into bags, backpacks, and your daily routine.  Our folded umbrellas are engineered for space efficiency and effortless everyday carry.  Their ribs are precisely designed to nest seamlessly into one another, allowing the umbrella to furl to its smallest possible form.

Umbrellas are surprisingly intricate mechanisms—it can take over 200 parts to make a single folded unit. Our world-class manufacturing facilities are all ISO 9001 certified, ensuring consistent quality in every umbrella we produce.  It takes 96 painstaking steps and over 12 points of inspection to create a single Davek umbrella.
