Umbrella Model: City Walker Umbrella
Complex umbrella design for this bespoke manufactured umbrella, Arrow chose the contemporary version of the walking umbrella, called the City Walker Umbrella. Functional, fabulous and hard-wearing. The umbrella is printed both sides and boasts a digitally printed design on the inside of the umbrella which is carefully matched for a continuous display of artwork.
The City Walker Umbrella strikes a perfect balance between two well-loved umbrella styles. On one hand, there’s the large golf umbrella, renowned for its expansive coverage, making it an excellent choice for outdoor events, sports activities, and situations where maximum protection from the elements is needed. On the other hand, there’s the smaller folding umbrella, prized for its compactness and portability, easily fitting into bags and being convenient for on-the-go use.
The City Walker Umbrella, with its mid-sized design, offers the best of both worlds. It is ideally suited for urban environments, where the hustle and bustle of crowded streets and public transportation can make manoeuvring with a large, fully extended umbrella quite cumbersome. Its size provides ample coverage to keep you dry without being overly bulky, allowing for easier navigation through tight spaces and busy sidewalks. This makes the City Walker Umbrella a practical and stylish choice for city dwellers who need reliable protection from the rain while maintaining ease of movement.
Personalised Umbrella Details for Arrow Umbrella
The external panels of this umbrella feature a sleek and minimalist design, with a simple black colour that exudes sophistication and elegance. One of the panels is adorned with the logo, printed in crisp white, creating a striking contrast that catches the eye without being overly flashy. This understated exterior makes the umbrella a versatile accessory, suitable for both professional and casual settings.
However, the true uniqueness of this umbrella lies within. The inside panels are digitally printed with a vibrant and dynamic design, showcasing bright colours that are meticulously matched at each seam. This attention to detail ensures that the pattern flows seamlessly across the entire interior, creating a visually stunning effect that is sure to impress.
Prominently displayed on one of the interior panels is the CoPilot message, alongside the Microsoft logo. These elements are carefully positioned to be highly visible, reinforcing the brand’s identity and making the intended message clear. The combination of the bold, colourful interior and the refined exterior makes this umbrella not only a practical tool for staying dry but also a statement piece that reflects the innovative spirit of Microsoft and the CoPilot initiative.

Whether you’re navigating through a rainy cityscape or attending an outdoor event, this umbrella offers both functionality and style, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to make a lasting impression.
Complex Umbrella Design With Robust Handle and Hardware for Stylish Walking Umbrella
The umbrella boasts a curved silicone handle, meticulously crafted to provide exceptional comfort during prolonged use. This ergonomic design allows users to carry the umbrella for extended periods without experiencing any discomfort. The handle’s sleek and contemporary appearance is further enhanced by a black anodised shaft and a gunmetal tip, which together create a striking contrast against the umbrella’s vibrant design. The thoughtful combination of durable materials and sophisticated aesthetics ensures that the umbrella is not only practical but also built to last which is why we include a two-year guarantee for quality.
Shipping and Logistics Expertise
At Wurlin-The Umbrella Workshop, we understand the importance of timely delivery and attention to detail. Our expert shipping team ensured that Arrow’s custom-designed umbrellas were delivered on schedule, within budget, and to precise specifications. We managed every aspect of the logistics, ensuring the umbrellas arrived safely and promptly, meeting Arrow’s unmovable deadlines. Whether shipping domestically within the UK or internationally, we handle all logistics to provide a seamless, hassle-free experience for our clients.
Arrow’s umbrellas were designed with flexibility and customisation in mind. In addition to the stunning double-canopy design, Arrow had the opportunity to further personalise their umbrellas with a range of additional features. These included:
- Handle ring engraving: Adding an extra layer of customisation with engraved details, ideal for personalisation or branding.
- Digital prints on both the inside and outside panels: This option allows brands to incorporate additional messaging, logos, or decorative elements.
- Custom umbrella carry cases: For an extra touch of elegance and practicality, Cogent could have chosen to personalise the carry cases with the company logo, ensuring visibility even when the umbrella is not in use.
For clients seeking rapid delivery, we also offer UK-printed umbrellas with simpler designs, such as logo prints on the canopy. These can be produced in just 2-3 weeks for clients with tighter timelines. For those who prefer a more detailed or bespoke design, like the one created for Arrow, we offer a longer lead time, allowing for more intricate customisations.
Complex Umbrella Design For Custom Manufactured Umbrella
For clients looking to elevate their umbrella designs further, we offer a range of premium features for custom manufactured umbrellas, such as engraved handle rings, custom carry cases, and even woven or printed labels sewn into the fabric of the umbrella. These subtle branding elements can enhance the overall aesthetic and reinforce brand identity, offering a level of sophistication that elevates the entire product.
