BLUNT Classic Umbrella, 47″ Full-Length Stick Umbrella

BLUNT’s original full-length umbrella: a 47.2″ taut canopy that handles wind, rain and sun, in seven colors.

When rain clouds threaten and you have places to be, carry the Classic. Its high-tensioned 47.2″ (120 cm) canopy gives serious protection for one and just enough for two, even in an all-day downpour, and it tucks comfortably under your arm when the weather breaks. Six patented rounded BLUNT tips spread tension from the frame to the canopy edge so it keeps its shape in the wind (BLUNT rates its umbrellas to 115 km/h, about 72 mph), and they make the umbrella safer to carry in a crowd. It closes to 33.1″ and weighs 23.3 oz.

Why we carry it

We’ve been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and we look for objects that are well made, honest about their materials and a pleasure to use. BLUNT is a New Zealand umbrella brand known for its engineering. Its patented rounded BLUNT tips spread tension evenly from the frame to the canopy edge, giving the canopy its taut, wind-resistant shape and making the umbrella safer to carry in a crowd. The umbrellas are built from modular parts so they can be repaired rather than thrown away, and BLUNT rates every model in its range to wind speeds of 115 km/h (about 72 mph).

Buy once: durability and care

When it is new, open it fully and leave it open overnight to loosen the mechanism. After rain, let it dry completely, open or standing upright, before you fold it away. Clean the canopy with warm water and a soft cloth (no detergents, harsh brushes or machine washing), wipe the handle and shaft now and then, store it dry, and check that the rounded tips sit firmly in place.
