It was born in Cherbourg, at the bow of the Cotentin region, a land surrounded by the sea which sometimes cradles it, sometimes mistreats it. It has inherited a strong personality from it. And like a sailing boat flying the flag of her native port, it proudly wears on its canopy the embroidered arms of the brand "Le Véritable Cherbourg”.

An inseparable friend in unsettled weather

Le Véritable Cherbourg becomes an inseparable friend in unsettled weather. They say that when two people who own a Véritable Cherbourg meet – no matter what city in the world they may be in – a feeling of belonging to the brand will draw itself on their faces. Its uniqueness and its quality unite us anywhere in the world. The owner of a Véritable Cherbourg will acknowledge and tell his friends that the quality and safety of the umbrella they bought are of great standard, will trust this umbrella more and more over time until the “Cherbourg” becomes an inseparable friend in unsettled weather. Designed and made to live a long life, it will soon become a deeply sentimental gift. The brand respects these values and provides, through its manufacture, an outstanding after-sales service. This piece of work is therefore an investment for the future.

A detail for connoisseurs

Each details counts, nothing is insignificant. Indeed, a Véritable Cherbourg bears – opposite the emblem – two thick closing straps which play with the wind on the canopy when released. It is expected to roll the fabric in line with its folds, to take both straps together into one hand and to fasten them around the canopy with elegance. The brand has decided on this refined and practical opening-closing feature in order to insure the beauty of your Véritable Cherbourg. This specificity is a detail for connoisseurs.

The Way of Life

Le Véritable Cherbourg is first and foremost an attitude full of elegance, good manners, gallantry, kind gesture and comforting protection in poor weather conditions. It has entered the circle of authenticity lovers in the same way as a lovely handbag, a lovely pair of shoes, a pen, a watch, a suitcase, a car or a piece of jewellery… Indeed, its beauty is as recognisable and noticeable on a day out. When closed, it will accompany you and punctuate your steps with its spindle-shaped line.

When open, its contours which are marked by the regular arching of its ribs, its canopy which is cut and sown to a high standard and stretched on its structure endow it with a unique and recognisable look. Everything has been studied and made in a natural fashion so as to let you discover –throughout the showers – the meanings of this Way of Life unique to the brand. The timeless essential which will be passed on to younger generations.
