London Undercover is a young British handmade umbrella brand founded in 2008 by Jamie Milestone. Unlike traditional umbrella brands, London Undercover aims to hark the wings back to the British heritage and position them in the realm of modern and stylish accessories.
 
London Undercover still uses traditional handmade techniques to make umbrellas, and the umbrella surface is mostly traditional style, the umbrella style is low-key and elegant, but the details and color matching are quite ingenious, adding a bit of bright color to the calm and old-school British style. As an emerging umbrella brand, London Undercover spares no effort in the use of environmentally friendly recycled materials, most of their umbrella fabrics are made of 100% recycled PET fabric, and most of the umbrella bones are made of 70% recycled aluminium frames, which are lightweight but sacrifice a certain amount of structural strength - London Undercover makes it clear to their customers that London Undercover's umbrellas are not resistant to strong winds, and their warranty does not cover wind damage.
 
London Undercover's wings are divided into Classic, City Gent, City Lux, Premium, Solid Stick and other series, among which the most cost-effective is the Classic series, which is made of whole wood, but the average price is only 75 pounds, which is unbelievable in the traditional industry of Solid umbrellas. The fabrics in the collection are all classic styles, such as tartan, Prince of Wales, navy blue, Oxford stripes, etc., in line with the theme of returning to the British tradition, and the two layers of the umbrella are used in contrasting colors, and the lower nest of the umbrella is decorated with bright orange fabric, which is very prominent. Of course, the low price of the Classic series is not without reason, all the umbrellas in this series are made of whole maple wood with a single selection, and the maple poles can be produced in small batches in Asia, so the production cost can be reduced. If you're still more inclined to make in the UK, then the Solid Stick series is the place for you.
 
As the name suggests, the Solid Stick series is an all-in-one umbrella made of whole wood. An upgraded version of the Classic range, the Solid Stick range is authentically British-made, all handmade in London; The body of the umbrella can be made of precious woods such as hickory or oak, with traditional copper parts, a sterling silver umbrella collar and a dark woven fabric, which is closer to the look of an old-school gentleman's umbrella. Of course, the Solid Stick range is also the most expensive of London Undercover's offerings, at around £200 to £260.
 
The City Gent series is made of two-stage wood splicing technology, with a traditional umbrella shape, simple color matching, dark colors, marquea rattan handles, beech shafts, and elastic button fasteners on the umbrella surface with excellent design, which brightens the color of the whole umbrella. Similar to the City Gent, the City Lux collection is made from two sections of wood, but the fasteners are upgraded to leather and brass for a different texture, the umbrella fabric is made of woven cotton fabric for a more stylish look, and the option to personalise the embossing of the name on the leather. Both series are priced below Solid Stick, around £115 to £150. There is also the Premium series, which features brilliant in-surface prints on the surface of the umbrella, such as the map of London, the grey dove, and a limited edition printed umbrella in collaboration with VANS, the Beatles, and more.
 
In addition, London Undercover also offers the Telescopic range of folded umbrellas, including 10-rib wings with curved handles and compact 8-rib umbrellas, which are relatively affordable.
