The Knirps Brand
Our Heritage Story:
Knirps, the iconic German
company that invented the
folding umbrella, now re-invents
it with fashion prints, fresh
colors, innovative engineering
and unsurpassed quality.
The word Knirps actually means
“little one” in German, and ever
since the company invented the
folding umbrella in 1928, it has
set the worldwide standard for
designing umbrellas that are not
only “little,” but fashionable and
durable as well.
Once you experience what Knirps
design is all about, you may just
change your whole outlook on
rainy days.

A Legacy of Precision
German Engineering
A Knirps umbrella’s inherent mechanical
soundness insures that all its
components perform together with
matchless strength and efficiency.
There are some minor variations among the
different Knirps models, but most share
the following signature characteristics:
Solid Shafts:
• Made from super-strong steel
or high-grade aluminum, lined
Resilient Canopy Fabrics:
with zinc for additional strength
• Repels water with unique flat-weave
and flexibility
polyester
• Interlocking 10-sided tubes
• Dries almost instantly
minimize loose rotation
• No more soggy umbrellas in the
• Tiny copper rings prevent component
corner
parts from grinding together,
thereby insuring years of smooth,
reliable operation
Secure Handles:
Flexible Ribs:
• Ergonomically comfortable
• Flex with the wind from any direction
• No-slip grip provides secure hold
• Can even flip completely inside out
when wet
and back again – good as new
• Riveted tightly to the shaft for
maximum stability and contro l
