Papaya is a soft, light orange, warm and bright without shouting, and a single colour that lets the carved birch duck's head handle do the talking. It is the umbrella for someone who likes a little colour but not a pattern, it looks good against a navy or camel coat, and it is an easy gift that suits almost anyone.

Designed in London and handmade, it has a canopy of 100% recycled polyester made from the equivalent of nine plastic bottles, finished with a waterproof treatment free from PFAS and PFCs. The steel and fibreglass frame is built to cope with the wind, it opens with one hand at the push of a button, and it folds down compact and light enough for a tote or backpack. Original Duckhead is a certified B Corp and gives 1% of its annual sales to nonprofits through 1% for the Planet.
