Fulton Umbrellas

If you're wondering what the best umbrella brand actually is, Fulton has a fairly strong claim to the title. Founded in London in 1956 by Arnold Fulton, it's grown into the UK's largest premium umbrella brand, and nearly seventy years later it's still designing and engineering every umbrella in-house rather than simply badging someone else's design.

Trusted by Royalty

Fulton has held Royal Warrants from Queen Elizabeth II and previously the Queen Mother, and its umbrellas continue to be carried by members of the British Royal Family today. It's not the kind of endorsement a brand can simply claim, a Royal Warrant is granted, not bought, which says a fair bit about the consistency and quality Fulton has maintained across the decades.

Engineered and Tested Properly

Every Fulton frame is designed in-house by a team of mechanical engineers, holds one of the company's own registered patents or designs, and is wind tunnel tested under simulated storm conditions at Imperial College London before it ever reaches production. That's a genuinely rare level of rigour in an industry where "windproof" often just means a manufacturer's best guess.

The Range We Stock

We carry a proper spread of the Fulton range here, the storm proof Stormshield for serious weather, the elmwood-handled Commissioner for a sophisticated city look, the ultra lightweight Ultralite for the daily commute, the oversized folding Jumbo, and the fast-opening Windbreaker-1. Their Incognito collection brings union jack and dot prints alongside plain colours for something a bit more distinctive, while the ladies range includes elegant designer styles like the Satin Dream and Kensington Colour Pop. Whatever you're after, there's a genuine chance Fulton makes it.
