Elegant umbrellas that incorporate what men really want.　

A series of "Makita Standard" featuring a thick and substantial herringbone weave with intricate details within its simplicity.

Based on the theme of "the umbrella men truly desire", this is a heartfelt creation by Yoichi Makita, CEO of Makita Shoten, designed for the modern man of today.

The fabric is made of herringbone weave, which is often used for suits, and features a calm and elegant luster that is loved beyond generations.

Both stick and folding umbrellas come with an umbrella bag, and attention to detail is packed into every aspect, such as the use of durable beech wood for the handle, which develops a patina over time. With UV protection (90% or more), it can also be used as a parasol.

While most umbrellas on the market are made of vinyl or printed materials, Makita Shoten's umbrellas are dyed from the threads and woven directly into the fabric using the Jacquard technique. Jacquard weave fabric is three-dimensional, glossy, and luxurious, and the difference between Jacquard weave and print is obvious.

Makita Shoten is the only company in Japan (and possibly the world) that can weave a free-form pattern that straddles the triangle of the umbrella.

The fabric is made of polyester, the same material used for ordinary rain umbrellas, and is post-processed to be waterproof, water-repellent, and UV-cut (over 90%), making it functional for use on both rainy and sunny days.

Designed to be delivered in a beautiful and unbreakable condition, the wrapping is full of elegance and is a great gift for your loved ones.
