The San Francisco Umbrella Company was founded by Marc Alan Brown in 2012 with the mission to create beautiful, high-quality umbrellas in the tradition of the finest European and Asian makers.

First conceptualized with a collection of beloved dog breed prints, the statement was quickly adopted by animal lovers worldwide, soon becoming a powerful force in the pet and zoo markets.

The company later partnered with Sunbrella™ to offer UV-protective parasols, transforming its rainy-weather offerings into a versatile, year-round assortment.  

Always by your side during life’s unexpected storms, the Compact Collapsible Umbrella is a travel essential with durable construction and a convenient contractible design. Folding down to only 12” long, this handy weather companion can be thrown in a tote bag or backpack for quick access in a sudden downpour. Despite its size, the Compact Collapsible Umbrella features reinforced shafts and ribs with a 43” durable canopy for superior protection in strong winds and rain.
