At Artisan Umbrellas, every umbrella is crafted with precision, artistry, and premium materials. With proper care, your piece will serve you for many years, preserving both its beauty and performance.

Follow this guide to keep your umbrella in excellent condition.

Open with Care

• Always open the umbrella gently, allowing the ribs to unfold naturally.
  
• Avoid forcing it open quickly — this prevents unnecessary stress on the frame.
  

Close Properly

• Before closing, make sure the canopy fabric is not twisted.
  
• Gently guide the ribs inward instead of pressing abruptly.
  

Tip: Never open the umbrella indoors or in tight spaces — confined areas can bend the frame.

• Our umbrellas are designed for daily use, but always avoid extremely strong wind.
  
• If the wind becomes too strong, hold the umbrella tilted into the wind to reduce pressure on the frame.
  
• Never use the umbrella as a support stick or cane (unless it is a cane model specifically designed for that purpose).
  

• After use, leave your umbrella open or half-open in a ventilated area until fully dry.
  
• Do not store it folded when wet — moisture may cause fabric odor or rust on metal parts.
  
• Avoid placing it near heaters, radiators, or direct high heat.
  

• Clean the canopy with lukewarm water and a soft cloth or sponge.
  
• Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or abrasive tools — they can damage the fabric and color.
  
• For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse well.

Wooden Handles

• Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
  
• For extra shine, occasionally polish with wood-safe oil or wax.

Metal Parts

• Dry thoroughly after rain to prevent oxidation.
  
• Avoid storing the umbrella in humid environments.

Leather Elements

• Clean with a damp cloth and let dry naturally.
  
• Apply leather conditioner occasionally to keep it supple.

• Store your umbrella in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  
• Use the protective sleeve or case that comes with your umbrella.
  
• Ensure the canopy is completely dry before storage.
  

• Treat your umbrella as a fine accessory — not as a walking stick (unless designed as one).
  
• Avoid dropping or leaning heavily on it.
  
• If your umbrella accidentally turns inside-out due to wind, close it immediately and gently reset the frame.

With the right care, your umbrella will remain a timeless piece — elegant, reliable, and always ready to accompany you in style.
