FAQ
What is the ECO Bamboo Umbrella made from?
The pole, handle, and tips are made from bamboo, and the canopy is made from 100% recycled PET bottles, combined with a fibreglass frame for strength.
Is a bamboo umbrella actually windproof?
Yes, despite the eco friendly materials, the ECO Bamboo Umbrella uses a strong, flexible fibreglass frame that's fully windproof, so sustainability doesn't come at the cost of performance.
Why is bamboo considered a sustainable material?
Bamboo grows very quickly, requires very little water, and is naturally strong, and the fibres are fully biodegradable, making it one of the more genuinely eco friendly materials available for umbrella handles and poles.
What colours does the sustainable umbrella range come in?
The ECO Bamboo Umbrella is available in 5 colours, white, red, navy, grey, and black.
Is repairing an umbrella more sustainable than buying a new one?
Yes, and it's part of why our Blunt range takes a repair not replace approach, an umbrella built to be fixed rather than thrown away tends to have a much smaller environmental footprint over its lifetime than a cheaper one replaced every year.
