If you're looking for a top-of-the-line umbrella, the first choice is Brigg from London.
 
Brigg创立于1836年，从19世纪50年代起以Thomas Brigg& Son的身份活跃于雨伞行业，并在1884年从维多利亚女王处赢得了他们的第一份皇室认证——这也是有史以来United Kingdom皇室为雨伞制造商颁发的首个皇家认证。1899年，Brigg进军欧陆市场，在巴黎开设商店，此举为Brigg带来了More的皇室主顾，包括当时的西班牙国王与王后。1943年Brigg因战争原因失去了巴黎的店铺，回到伦敦后与老牌豪华皮具商Swaine Adeney合并，成为了现在的Swaine Adeney Brigg（SAB）。如今的SAB与其说是个独立的品牌，倒不如说是个传统制造商的联合体，除了Swaine Adeney与Brigg，SAB旗下还有Papworth与Herbert Johnson两个子品牌，两者分别主攻皮革旅行用品与手工帽。
 
"The Brigg umbrella still keeps the British royal family safe from the rain to this day." In the early years of the recent past, Brigg held three royal warrants, namely Queen Elizabeth (the current Queen Mother), the current Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles. With the death of the old queen and the current queen switching to Fulton, today's Brigg only has a royal certification for Prince Charles, but Brigg does not need to rely on anyone's blessing to sell its reputation, more than 100 years of brand history has already made Brigg synonymous with classic British umbrellas.
 
Brigg has an inherent British manufacturing ethos: understated, sophisticated, traditional and high-quality. Brigg's umbrellas are made in their workshop in Cambridge, London, and are all handmade. For top-of-the-line umbrellas, automatic umbrellas and folded umbrellas are not acceptable, Brigg's products are all manual longbar umbrellas, and the handles and shafts are made of natural materials such as wood, bamboo, and rattan. Brigg umbrellas can be roughly divided into two categories, either the handle and shaft are made of two pieces of wood, called "stick" or "fit-up"; Either from the handle, shaft to tail of the umbrella with a piece of wood, one piece of shape, called "Solid". Both have a body strength that far exceeds that of ordinary industrial umbrellas, and is firm and reliable.
 
Brigg's umbrella handle (or integrated umbrella body) is generally made of Malacca white rattan, bamboo, chestnut, oak, cherry, hickory, maple, ash and other materials, the most representative of which is the Malacca white rattan umbrella handle, which is classic in color and shape, refreshing and clean, suitable for customers who try the top umbrella for the first time. Moso bamboo is also a fairly classic umbrella handle style, which also appeared in the hit British drama The Avengers in the sixties of the last century, as one of the accessories to become a typical representative of the image of the British gentleman. In the film "Ace Agent", Colin Firth's Chestnut umbrella was also created by Brigg, and it is now on Brigg's merchandise list. Fine woods such as oak, cherry and hickory are also popular, and if your budget allows, a Solid umbrella made from this type of wood will be a good choice, and the overall texture will be much taller than the modest Stick model (such as standard Malacca).
 
SAB's canopy fabrics are available in nylon and silk, and the price of silk canopy is much higher than that of nylon parabel fabric. Nylon umbrella cloth is the standard configuration of Brigg, the cloth is light, bright, multi-color optional, strong abrasion resistance, under the Brigg weaving process has stronger water repellency than ordinary nylon umbrellas, and it dries when you throw it. The Silk Umbrella Cloth is an upgrade to Brigg and comes at a whopping £330 on top of the base price and is only available in black. In fact, silk umbrella cloth has no functional advantage over nylon umbrella cloth, but silk has been used in umbrella surfaces for a longer time, and its luxurious texture makes it have a more advanced retro feeling. Brigg's silk umbrella is even weaker than the nylon umbrella in terms of rainproof performance, and when the rainfall is heavy, the inner surface of the silk umbrella may have water permeability and fog; The silk umbrella surface is easy to hook and floc, and the maintenance difficulty is also high. However, there are still many customers who are happy to pay for the expensive silk in pursuit of the distinctive sound of raindrops falling on the surface of the umbrella – although this difference is negligible, or the subtle texture of the semi-transparent underneath – even if this is due to the weak shading properties of the silk umbrella.
 
Brigg's umbrella bones are still hand-twisted in steel by umbrella craftsmen, a rarity in the entire umbrella world, and Brigg's skeleton is known for its strength and durability for a lifetime. However, there are many cases of Brigg umbrellas being broken and damaged, and Brigg does not guarantee lifetime repairs, and Paibao still recommends avoiding the use of Brigg umbrellas in severe stormy weather. In terms of workmanship, the exposed parts of Brigg's metal parts are plated with bronze or brass to avoid the rivets from rusting after long-term use; The parachute handle is delicately polished, moderately polished, and has a good hand feel; The umbrella fabric is a classic wedge-shaped triangle with a structured and elegant umbrella shape. When Brigg is introduced in the Japanese drama "My Gentleman's Fashion", the sound of his umbrella holding process is described as "stepping on the first snow", which is really appropriate: the comfortable damping coefficient allows you to calmly feel the resistance of the slow climb and the squeak of the umbrella surface gradually tightening, and with the positioning of the limit bow blade, a wonderful parachute holding experience is over.
 
There is little difference in the design of SAB's male and female umbrellas, and only the size is adjusted. There are three sizes of regular men's umbrellas, 25 inches, 26 inches, or 27 inches, and the merchant recommends a 25-inch/26-inch umbrella for customers under 6 feet (about 1.83m) tall, and a 27-inch umbrella for customers over 6 feet tall. The women's umbrella is comparatively small, measuring 20 inches. In addition, some umbrella models are also available in a 25-inch travel version, with detachable handles and tails. Malacca has a special water bottle version with a screw-down drinking bottle inside the handle.
 
Brigg umbrellas start at £285 (classic Malacca white vine) and can be covered in nylon or silk for an additional £330 fee; The umbrella collar is available in gold-plated or sterling silver, 925 sterling silver plus a £30 fee; Add name engraving for an additional £20 per letter. The cost of fully customized (Bespoke) products with special materials and special requirements will be charged separately.
