    TwoPly : Series Concept

    A combination of two colors unique to narrow Koshu woven fabric

    This umbrella is made of double-sided Koshu weave fabric, which is woven with a shuttle to create different colors on the front and back, while overlapping the warp threads. Because it is woven with a twill weave, the colors of the threads on the front and back show through slightly, expressing a deep color and a high-quality feel.

    Rain and sun umbrella UV-cut umbrella

    The fabric is water-repellent, water-resistant, and UV-resistant. In addition to being fully functional as an umbrella, this umbrella can also be used as a parasol, making it a versatile umbrella for both rain and shine. The UV protection and shading rates vary slightly depending on the color, but all colors have a UV protection rate of over 95%.

    About the fabric

    "Koshu-ori" is attractive for its lustrous sheen and solid feel

    The fabric used is "Koshu-ori," which is intricately woven in Yamanashi Prefecture, a famous textile production region with a history of over 400 years.
    Koshu-ori is a "pre-dyed" fabric made by weaving extremely fine yarns that have been dyed beforehand into a high density, uniform weave.

    This has resulted in a glossy, deep color and an elegant, heavy texture, and the product still boasts high quality today.
    The weaving technique that uses double yarn (twisted yarn) for the warp and single yarn (one thread) for the weft is characteristic of Yamanashi textiles, resulting in a fabric that combines luxury and durability.

    The production of Koshu-ori fabric begins at a dyer's shop, where the threads are dyed, then goes through a warper, where the threads are arranged into warp threads, before being sewn into fabric at a weaver's shop.
    The fabric is carefully woven over a long period of time, and is then treated to be water-repellent, water-resistant, and UV-resistant, before it can finally be used as an umbrella.
    In this way, the fabric that has been made by many people is then cut and sewn by craftsmen to make into umbrellas.

    Fabric woven on a rare narrow shuttle loom

    Fabric woven on a small-width loom, which has become extremely rare among looms, is made by looming the weft thread with a shuttle and folding it back at the edge as it is woven, which creates selvedge at the edge of the fabric.
    Since there is no need to sew a large piece of fabric to fit the width of the umbrella, there are no perforations, so it looks smart and stylish, and you don't have to worry about fraying even if you use it for a long time.

    Also, because the shuttle loom moves slowly and carefully, making a clanging sound, it takes longer than usual to finally complete a piece of fabric.

    Two versatile color combination that go with any outfit

    Two-ply is yarn-dyed, so the color of the thread was carefully selected and adjustments were made many times to arrive at the color we have created.
    This is our new signature product that is standard yet personal, combining a color variation that can be worn in any season with the luxury of Koshu-ori. The colors are easy to match with outfits, making this umbrella easy to use as a fashion item.
    Not only can it be used in business situations, but it also matches patterned clothing and casual style, making it an umbrella that will make you enjoy being stylish on rainy days even more.
    Perfect for both women's fashion and unisex styles.

    About the handle

    The elegant handle is made of a combination of acrylic and natural wood.

    The handle is made from a combination of maple and acrylic.
    The curved part that comes into contact with your hand is made of transparent beige acrylic, and the part that fits together with the umbrella is made of natural maple wood.
    The two pieces come together and the ivory tassel attached gives the handle an elegant impression.
    The folding umbrella can be held as securely as a long umbrella, and can be used in any season and in any situation.

    • An umbrella bag that can be used in two ways: for long umbrellas and for folding umbrellas

      If you unbutton the back of the umbrella bag that comes with the folding umbrella, you can store the umbrella in the bag with the ribs extended like a long umbrella.
      After using it in the rain, simply tie the umbrella up with the strap attached to the outside and put it in the umbrella bag without folding it.
      As the umbrella can be stored in the bag immediately even when wet, it is environmentally friendly and you don't have to worry about your clothes getting wet.
      This is a functional folding umbrella that can be used as a long umbrella on rainy days, and as a folding umbrella on days when it rains on and off.

    • You can carry your umbrella without having to fold it.

      This folding umbrella is designed so that the tip of the umbrella fits into a groove in the handle, so you can carry it with the ribs extended.
      This eliminates the hassle of having to fold up a wet umbrella, and you can store it away after it dries when you get home.

    • Ribs and center pole

      The ribs are made of lightweight and durable fiberglass material. It has a moderate thickness and flexibility, so it is lightweight but strong against wind. It is also a rust-free material, so it is easy to maintain on a daily basis.
      The center rod is made of aluminum.
      It is a very lightweight material that does not rust and is therefore easy to maintain.
