Exquisite. Here in the sun-rich little beach town of San Clemente, California, how could these umbrellas not bring a smile, and perhaps a little gasp to all whose eyes fall upon them. A lovely, lovingly crafted work of art. Je vous applaudis

I lived in Japan for a while and even though young women use them, they’re considered old-fashioned. But the atmosphere of a city in the summer when women carry a parasol is so graceful and joyous. I recovered an umbrella and it is not easy, but definitely worth the effort. My favorite trims can be showcased instead of hiding on pillowcases! Wonderful work Monsieur Heurtault, bravo.

Dear M. Heurtault -
I live in the U.S.A., and have a beautiful old parasol that is French. It has the manufacturer name “CAZAL – Paris et Londres” on the stem. It has raised initials on the stem/handle, which I believe is made of ivory. The top part is off-white silk, with an overlay of black lace. SO beautiful. It needs some repair and care. If you are interested in it, I would like to give it to you. I would like to see this parasol preserved – it is antique and lovely. If you are interested, I will send it. All I ask is that perhaps you can send me a picture via e-mail of whatever you do with it. Let me know if you would like this parasol.
Thank you for your time -
Elizabeth Reece

Gorgeous! I want one! They warrant a remake of the “Umbrellas of Cherbourg”! Jacques Demy would be jealous. Great find Zeva, and amazing photos. Who took them?

Martha, are you kidding? Your beat up Yankee umbrella sounds brilliant. I’m jealous.
