Created in collaboration with internationally exhibited painter Karl Maughan, this limited edition design captures his signature ever in bloom world in layered, luminous detail. 

For decades, Karl Maughan has explored the cultivated garden as a framework for painting, building immersive worlds through dense foliage and luminous colour. This collaboration translates that rich, imagined landscape onto our canopy, celebrating a practice defined by depth, detail and perpetual bloom.

Metro is the go-to umbrella for days where you’re not sure what's on the horizon. It conveniently fits in your handbag, tote, or backpack so you’re always prepared, whatever the weather.

An auto-open button pops open the canopy for instant coverage at your fingertips. Built with unique 360° spinning technology, the Metro’s canopy is designed to elegantly handle knocks when navigating narrow spaces.

Please note, due to the nature of the UV fabric on our Metro UV models, creasing does occur.

We are in the process of updating our tip pocket colours. If you have any questions with your order and specific colour, feel free to reach out to our customer service team.

While living in London and dealing with rainy commutes, Kiwi engineer Greig Brebner noticed how unsafe umbrellas were - being so tall, the spikes often poked him in the eye. He also noticed how umbrellas had become a throwaway commodity, mainly due to poor-quality materials and flimsy, outdated design.

So to save his eyes and reduce the number of broken umbrellas that end up as landfill each year, Greig set out to do something no one had done since 1928 - to re-invent the umbrella. And he began by re-designing the mechanisms.

Going right back to the drawing board, Greig married engineering innovation with no-fuss design styling to create something that exceeded even his own expectations: a ridiculously strong umbrella that could handle seriously wild weather.

After pushing countless prototypes to the limits in wind tunnels and on the blustery hills of Auckland, Greig finally did it. He'd re-invented the umbrella. And it just so happened to become the best umbrella in the world.
