Just like sipping on a cup of hot chocolate by a crackling fireplace, the Metro Gingerbread is inspired by the enchanting warmth of winter and the comforting cosiness of the season. With its rich, earthy hues, it captures the essence of winter in its most delightful form. This warm, inviting shade is the perfect companion for those brisk, chilly days when you're wrapped up snug in chunky knits.
Just like donning your favourite, well-loved coat, this umbrella with its cool and invigorating colours provides a sense of shelter and comfort as you face the day.

THE DESIGN
The artistry behind this design comes from the creative vision of textile designer Imogen Tunnicliffe, celebrated for her iconic check patterns and masterful application of earthy, harmonious colour palettes. This delectable duo not only provides exceptional protection from the elements but also enhances the enchantment of winter, making each day just that little bit sweeter.

METRO UMBRELLA

Compact, collapsible and convenient, the Blunt Metro umbrella is always at hand while you are on the go. Designed for those who love life in the fast lane, live lightly and refuse to be held back by the elements.

Warranty: Blunt umbrellas are designed and built with meticulous craft and care to ensure they stand the test of time. They have a global 2 year manufacturer's warranty.

*Measured and evaluated by professionals (WSP) in the southern hemisphere's most powerful wind tunnel (1.1MW). Tested to the point of destruction, at a fixed angle with a mechanical arm on Jan 25th 2021.

Cleaning and drying your Blunt umbrella:
When cleaning your canopy, use a clean cloth and some warm water to clear any marks. Make sure you keep away from any chemical detergents and bristle brushes as these can damage the material. Blunt canopies are not machine washable.
Make sure you dry out your umbrella completely to avoid any mildew or water stains forming. The best way to dry your umbrella is to leave it fully open. But if space is limited (or you're a little superstitious), your Blunt can be dried by standing it with the handle up and the canopy tie released.

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 He also noticed how umbrellas had become a throwaway commodity, mainly due to poor-quality materials and flimsy, outdated design.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.
