Francesco Maglia is one of the most historic and authentic examples of Italian craftsmanship, with a legacy that dates back to 1854 and continues today through six generations of the same family. From a small Italian workshop, the brand evolved into a reference point for handcrafted umbrellas of exceptional design, treating each piece not as a simple accessory but as an object of timeless style and personal expression.

The brand’s philosophy is rooted in dedication to craftsmanship and materials. Every umbrella is made in its Milan workshop through more than 150 manual steps – from selecting wood and fabrics to assembly and finishing – preserving techniques dating back to the 19th century and avoiding mass production.

Its collections balance classic elegance with contemporary aesthetics, featuring solid stick, folding, and storm umbrellas crafted from fine woods such as chestnut, maple, and bamboo, as well as leather and metal details of high quality. The result is functional yet refined products designed to last a lifetime and be passed down through generations.

More than an accessory company, Francesco Maglia represents a culture of Italian craftsmanship and slow luxury: objects created with patience, expertise, and character. Each umbrella is unique, customizable, and designed to reflect its owner’s personality – transforming an everyday item into a symbol of elegance and tradition.
