Lockwood is almost a baby compared to the century-old British umbrella manufacturer, founded in 2014 by two new generations of Edward Gucewicz and Moses Manley, who worked with James Smith &Son. Lockwood uses traditional techniques to create its wings, with signature contrasting colours adding a slightly playful artistic touch.
Each piece of Lockwood is handcrafted by two artisans in Lockwood's workshop in North London, and it takes about a day to complete an umbrella, from assembling the frame all the way to hand-sewing the umbrella cloth. Lockwood's umbrella uses a "Grade A" steel skeleton, the wood is mostly sourced from sustainable woodlands in Western Europe, the jumping spring parts are hand-turned from brass, key areas such as the umbrella bones are hand-stitched with reinforcements, and the fastening buttons are made of Asian buffalo horns.
Lockwood鼓励solid伞“Made to order”定制。不过,虽说是定制伞,但其定制内容并非没有限制,只局限于手柄材质、伞面颜色、伞身高度、字母铭刻与紧固带纽扣式样等固定选项,除了紧固带纽扣比较独特,其他定制内容基本上其他顶级伞厂的一般产品也能做到。对于手柄材质,Lockwood提供橡木、枫木、山胡桃木、栗木、白蜡木等几种常规选择,伞面八色可选,紧固带纽扣三种样式可选,伞身高度可随客人身高定制,可选字母铭刻。这样的半订制品价格可达420英镑,事实上与SAB、JS&S等伞界巨擘相比并无价格优势。
Ready-made solid umbrellas are more cost-effective than custom-made umbrellas, costing around £280 per handle, but Lockwood generally has few finished umbrella styles on the shelves, and the choice is narrow. Whether it's a custom or finished wing, Lockwood sews a striking white reinforced fabric at the seams of the ribs inside the surface, which is also a signature feature of Lockwood.
In addition, the Lockwood is available in a slim tube and folding umbrella with a classic 8mm paragon frame and a handle made of Malacca vine, Italian leather and bamboo. The price is around £100. Lockwood does not have a physical store, it is only sold online on the official website, and both custom and solid umbrellas are free of international shipping.
