Keep it long, treasure it long.

Gentle on people and the earth

The pattern with continuous leaf-like shapes is regular but reminiscent of nature such as the earth and plants. The most compact X1 series of Knirps folding umbrellas is made using such a pattern. It fits in a small bag, so it's a folding umbrella that you can carry around on days when you go out with a little fashion, or when you want to be as light as possible and move actively. As it is 95% UV cut, it can be used as a sun umbrella for both sunny and rainy weather.

Easy to carry, X1 series

The ultra-compact and lightweight X1 series uses glass fiber for the ribs, making it lightweight yet highly flexible and resistant to strong winds. I tried using a small umbrella to lighten my luggage, but it bent immediately due to the strong wind! And, it is one that solves such a problem. The diameter when opened is 94 cm, which is a sufficient size, but it can be stored in a compact size because of the handle divided into 4 stages. When stored in the case, it is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Furthermore, the lightness of 285g including the case is also attractive. It opens and closes nicely, and can be opened smartly even in sudden rain.
In addition, we use eco-friendly water repellents developed by a long-established Swiss fabric manufacturer to make the fabrics water repellent, and we are promoting sustainable efforts that are kind to both the earth and people.

In addition, the case made of the same fabric as the main body is also hateful. In addition to the normal soft cover, it has a double light waterproof outer case, so even if you put the used umbrella on, the surroundings will not get wet. The outer case also comes with a holder, so you can choose how to carry it by hanging it on a bag or hanging it on a belt. Since it can be carried compactly at any time, it is also a great gift for women who often carry small bags and those who like traveling.

Speaking of folding umbrellas, Knirps

In Europe, Knirps means "folding umbrella", just as staplers are called staplers and adhesive tapes are called cellophane tapes. The world's first folding umbrella was born in 1928. Knirps was the first in the world to commercialize what Hans Haupt of Germany devised as an "umbrella that fits in a pocket". Since then, it has been loved by many people for a long time and continues to run as a leading manufacturer of folding umbrellas.

Especially in my home country of Germany, when I look up "folding umbrella" in a dictionary, it is written as "Knirps" so that it is so pervasive in people's lives. Folding umbrellas produced by Knirps have attracted many people with high quality, and even after many years since their birth, they continue to run as the top manufacturer of folding umbrellas. In addition to its excellent functionality, it has also received high praise in terms of design, and the "X1 X-One" series won the "ISDA Award" in 2004 and the Good Design Award in 2005. There is a secret that has been loved by people all over the world for a long time in the sincere attitude of pursuing not only practicality but also beauty of appearance.
