Back
The François Frères Umbrella Factory has been in operation since 1882 and has been passed down through five generations of the François family in Poitiers. We handcraft our umbrellas using high-quality, premium materials in the purest artisanal spirit. A durable, sturdy, elegant, and chic product that comes with a guarantee and is repairable – perfect for braving the rain and wind for many years to come!
We custom-make, repair, and restore all brands of umbrellas and parasols. Awarded the "Living Heritage Company" label by the French government since March 2021.
