We’ve taken 75 years of patented, one-of-a-kind umbrella technology and design and reimagined it. We’ve married cutting edge engineering with sophisticated style to bring a new, timeless look. And don’t worry, we’ll be reviving our favorite retro styles from the archives to bring our legacy to life.

When SHED RAIN opened its doors in 1947, we were armed with nothing but old sewing machines, our hands, and a passion for creating umbrellas that would revolutionize the industry. For 50 years, our fabric was hand cut; our umbrellas assembled by hand. For 50 years we weren’t in the business of umbrella imports, we were immersed in umbrella craftsmanship. We became true artisans.

Now, 75 years later, we have a vast number of intellectual patents, countless design patents, and have fully established ourselves as the world’s leading umbrella company. We may not hand-make our products in-house anymore, but that doesn’t mean our commitment to serving our customer has changed. Our products are quality tested, they’re responsibly sourced, and our efficient manufacturing processes mean that our hands are free to continue engineering the most cutting-edge weather technology on the market.

With roots in manufacturing, experience with weather (thanks, Portland!), global collaborations, and hearts for innovation, we guarantee products to keep you protected, rain or shine. We stand by our products that last a lifetime, no matter the weather.
