Valentino Garavani, fashion designer to the stars in Hollywood’s Glamour era, once said, “Black and white is always elegant. It is the perfect harmony.” We believe the same holds true for all of art and design. And while our vast selection of fabrics and trims offers hundreds of color customization choices, when it comes to building your umbrella, sometimes the best combination is classic Black and White.
Whether you choose stripes or solids, we’ve got some ideas to help you incorporate this iconic color palette into your outdoor space.
Create a Bold and Stylish Statement with Stripes: Our Regatta Cabana Black Stripe fabric can help to add the touch of drama you seek, a timeless look that will never be out of fashion.
