The fabric
The unusual woven fabric of this navy blue garden parasol is made in a small mill in Northern Italy.
The pattern reminds me of the sharks teeth fossils we found in abundance on the beaches of Holland as children. And of course, the interiors of the iconic Cowley Manor Hotel from which is steals it's name. The hotel is a showcase of rich and interesting fabrics, creating a simultaneously chic and welcoming space.
This particular heavy-weight navy blue parasol fabric has the appearance of a thick woollen upholstery fabric, but is made from 100% solution dyed acrylic, meaning it has our classic longevity properties of being totally weather-proof, ultra resistant to water, UV-fading and mildew.
Available with or without the fluffy brush fringe for a playful finish. We don't scrimp on our fringes. They are also totally weatherproof, washable and highly fade-resistant.
This luxury patterned parasol offers the highest levels of UPF sun protection and cooling shade, whilst bringing statement style to your garden.
