Knirps x NUNO

Just as staplers are called staplers and adhesive tapes are called cellophane tapes, Knirps in Europe means "folding umbrella". The first folding umbrella in the world was born in 1928. Knirps was the first in the world to commercialize what Hans Haupt of Germany devised as an "umbrella that fits in a pocket". Since then, it has been loved by many people for a long time and continues to run as a leading manufacturer of folding umbrellas.

The fabric is designed by "NUNO", who has been leading Japanese textile design for over 30 years with an original style by combining new materials and technologies in the textile production area of ​​Japan. The textiles created by NUNO are "words" that go beyond "words". We believe that indescribable rich information such as "breath of the present age", "scent of tradition that has passed through time", "warmth of new sensibilities", and "feeling of the future" will be directly transmitted to people through textiles. ..
These two manufacturers have teamed up to create a design that freely travels around the world and creates a sparkling journey.
