Parasol-UK is a young and fast-growing company, passionate about creating beautiful and distinctive Horkesley Luxury Parasols, Comberton Luxury Gazebos and Astell Luxury Tents, all using water-resistant outer canopies above hand-blocked inners and the same signature canopies. The aim is to enhance the lives of everyone involved, from the artisans in Parasol-UK’s own Indian workshop where they are handmade, all the way to the end user. As part of this commitment to the community, Parasol-UK is an official supporter of the National Garden Scheme which has supported essential British charities including Macmillan Cancer Support and Marie Curie with over £70M in total, the company donates a percentage of all parasol sales to this brilliant charity.

"We worked with Howe London to produce a bespoke parasol using their own fabric for their Pimlico Road shop window for Chelsea Flower Show week which subsequently won a Gold Award. We are working with brides and party planners as well as companies on bespoke orders this winter ready for next year, having also supplied bespoke orders to events and restaurants with plans to develop this aspect of Parasol-UK further."
