Limited Edition Umbrella
Buy a limited edition umbrella designed by our Founder Eva de Jong-Duldig and launched to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Duldig family's arrival in Australia.

Slawa Horowitz-Duldig invented the modern folding umbrella in Vienna in 1929. It was manufactured in Austria and Germany and marketed throughout Europe. After the Duldig family fled Austria in 1938 she was forced to sell all her patent rights. Slawa’s daughter, Eva de Jong-Duldig, designed the umbrella for the Duldig Studio in 2019.



Cost: $45 each - available now for pre-order.
The umbrella will be launched at our World Umbrella Day event on Sunday 14 February and will be posted after this date.
