Details

  • Handle: Handcrafted from luxurious Macassar ebony, 'Diospyros Celebica'.
    - Dark, rich brown or black colour.
    - Featuring lighter streaks or banding.
    - From the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.
    - Trees are 70 - 100 years or older before harvesting. As the tree matures, its wood becomes more dense and stable, which is crucial for umbrella sticks that need to be both strong and resistant to wear and weather.
    - Smooth, fine texture.
  • Canopy: Made from 100% silk with a refined ten-panel design for a smoother, more elegant silhouette.
  • Frame: Reinforced steel shaft and ribs for exceptional durability.
  • Features: A hand-polished silver collar and custom ferrule.

After use in rain, fully open the umbrella to allow the silk canopy to dry naturally. Storing the umbrella while damp may damage the silk fabric and compromise its longevity.

Gently shake to remove excess water, but avoid rolling or tightly closing the umbrella while wet.

Keep the Macassar ebony handle clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or prolonged exposure to moisture, which may dull the wood’s finish.

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to preserve the silk canopy and prevent warping of the handle.

With proper care, your Macassar Umbrella will remain a timeless and functional piece of art for years to come.
