Kinrps from Germany was founded in 1928 by its founder, Hans Haupt, who invented the world's first folding umbrella. The name of Tot is a household name in Europe, and in Germany it is synonymous with modern umbrellas, and in German dictionaries, Kinrps is even synonymous with "folded umbrellas". Because of the red dot on the brand logo, Tot is also known as the red dot umbrella.
 
Tot occupies a high price position in the parasol competition, and the quality of its umbrella is also shown to be comparably sincere. The combination of top wing materials such as glass fiber, FRP and aluminum alloy frequently appears on the wing bone structure, and the connecting rod mechanism is reasonably designed, giving the wing skeleton stronger toughness. The bead tail of the umbrella has always been easy to fall off, and Tot has cured it to greatly improve the riveting fastness. The Tot has a thicker diameter of the middle rod, and some wings also have a reinforced buckle on the middle bar to reinforce the wing. In terms of umbrella surface and exterior design, Tot is definitely worth the price, with a wide variety of styles, high-end color schemes, and unconventional.
 
Tot is creative in the development and design of details. Tot is the earliest practitioner of this design, when the blade is propped up, the force of the wing bone in each direction will be concentrated on the upper part of the middle bar, and the inverted rod can improve the structural stability of the wing. Tot' manual folding umbrellas are all self-developed push-button control grids, which are different from the traditional button-type nests, which can prevent the umbrella from accidentally closing in the wind, avoid the switch pinching hands, and make it more convenient to open the umbrella and feel smooth enough.
 
In Europe, the United States, Japan and Singapore, Tot' umbrellas are rarely developed for shading needs, and the umbrella cloth is generally not processed with the coating type that is popular in China, but most of Tot' umbrella cloth has been treated with a nano finishing agent similar to Coolibar, so it can have the same sunscreen performance as a special parasol, and can be used for both weather and rain. These umbrellas are marked with UV protection characteristics, but because they are not dedicated parasols, most of them do not clearly identify UV protection data, according to the agent, Tot' umbrella has a UPF data of up to 50 and a UV shielding rate of 95%, which is enough to cope with daily sun protection.
 
In response to the higher shading demand in the Chinese market, Tot specially supplies the C051 series and C050 series, both of which are vinyl coated umbrellas, with a UPF of 50 and a UV shading rate of 99%. If you tend to buy a pure parasol, then Tot' vinyl-coated umbrella will be more cost-effective, with more perfect UV resistance, stable overall performance, and a relatively low price of only 398 yuan.
 
In addition to the C051 series and C050 series specially developed for the Chinese market, the mainstream hot-selling models of Tot also include X1, T1, T2, T200, FLOYD, Travel, T3 and other models.
 
Born as a folding umbrella, Tot is still making breakthroughs in the direction of compact and portable. In 2004, the Tot X1 was created with this in mind, becoming the smallest umbrella ever built by the Tot brand, with a reduced length of just 17 cm. This Red Dot Award-winning folded umbrella is compact and still retains a large enough stretch area to stand out even more than a decade later. The FLOYD is the most affordable of the Tot, priced at 258 yuan, with the iconic oval handle, and the China Special Edition adds a vinyl canopy to it. T2 is a one-key automatic opening and closing, which has better wind carrying ability.
 
At present, Tot' products can be purchased directly on domestic e-commerce platforms, and the overall price is high, only the C051 series, C050 series and FLOYD are below 400 yuan, and the price of other models ranges from 478 yuan to 678 yuan. Its product development and design work is still completed in Germany, except for two specific straight bar umbrellas handmade in Austria, the rest of the production capacity is all from the Far East, and the assembly of finished products is undertaken by the Taiwanese company Trillion Umbrella, which is produced in Shenzhen. Therefore, there is no need to import the original superstition, and there are no German-made products for the Tot, and their goods are all made in China – whether they are international or Chinese.
