Anatole

, the compact, sturdy and eco-friendly mini umbrella

Since its foundation in Paris in 2018, Anatole has established itself as the leading French brand specialising in compact, sturdy and lightweight umbrellas.

Founded by David Kapikian, who came up with the innovative idea of reinventing the umbrella whilst studying in Britain, the brand combines elegance, practicality and durability.

Anatole umbrellas stand out for their ultra-compact size – barely larger than a smartphone when closed (17.5 cm) – making them easy to carry in a pocket or bag. Weighing between 220 and 250 g and made from high-quality materials such as fibreglass, carbon fibre, aluminium and titanium, these umbrellas are designed to be both lightweight and durable. Furthermore, the brand makes it a point of honour to use eco-friendly materials, notably 100 per cent recycled fabric, in line with its commitment to sustainable production.

Anatole also offers a wide range of colours and patterns, providing customers with a diverse selection of styles, whether they’re looking for plain, colourful umbrellas or even those featuring leopard and tiger prints. The brand has also developed a children’s collection, Anatole KIDS, designed to combine fun and safety with anti-pinch mechanisms and robust materials.

Committed to providing high-quality, long-lasting umbrellas, Anatole aims to reverse the trend towards disposable umbrellas and plays an active role in combating overconsumption. Every Anatole design is the result of meticulous craftsmanship, making the umbrella as indispensable as it is elegant in everyone’s daily life.
