The Santa Barbara Umbrella®

Where It All Began

Born from a moment of inspiration in 1981, the Santa Barbara Umbrella began when the vibrant umbrellas of Mediterranean seaside markets sparked a vision to bring that timeless elegance to California. This design—our very first and still our signature—has graced the world's most exclusive addresses, from Malibu estates to Monaco yacht clubs.

More than four decades later, the Santa Barbara Umbrella remains exactly what it was meant to be: an icon of understated elegance that never goes out of style.

Choose Your Foundation

Each wood tells its own story. Rich teak brings natural elegance, warm mahogany offers depth and character, hard maple provides bright, clean lines. Whichever you choose becomes the foundation for an umbrella that will define your space for generations.

Details That Endure

The choice between gleaming stainless steel and warm brass isn't just aesthetic—it's about the character you want your umbrella to express. Both are built for durability and decades of reliable performance, whether you prefer the modern appeal of stainless steel or the timeless warmth of brass.
