Our Italian Partners

Artisan Umbrellas works directly with two Italian houses, Pasotti and Il Marchesato, to bring their collections to customers in the United States. We don't manufacture the umbrellas, walking canes, or shoehorns ourselves — we source them through a direct partnership with the ateliers that do, and handle US-facing sales, shipping, and customer support.

Why we work this way

Pasotti and Il Marchesato have spent decades refining the craftsmanship behind their pieces — hand-finished handles, traditional canopy construction, materials sourced and worked in Italy. Rather than compete with that, our role is to make it easy for US customers to find genuine pieces, understand what they're buying, and get them quickly without the cost and delay of ordering internationally.

What this means for you

• Every product listed under the Pasotti or Il Marchesato name on this site is sourced through our direct partnership with that house.
• We ship from within the US, so orders arrive faster and without customs surprises.
• Our team can answer sizing, care, and material questions specific to each brand — not generic retailer scripts.
• We stand behind every order with our own returns and support, in addition to any manufacturer warranty.

Questions about a specific piece?

If you're trying to confirm whether a specific item is genuinely made by Pasotti or Il Marchesato, or want to know more about materials and construction before you buy, contact our team — we're happy to help before you order, not just after.
