If you have ever had to fuss with a poor-quality umbrella, you know it can be frustrating. I almost prefer no umbrella to a poor-quality one.
Having a well-functioning, high-quality umbrella is just a pleasure to deal with. Not only does it keep you dry, but it opens easily or automatically, keeps its shape, holds up in the wind, and closes just as nicely.
In this article, I will list what I believe are the 5 top highest-quality women’s umbrellas on the market. I will also link to the manufacturer’s website in case you are interested in the quality brand but want to see their entire selection. So, let’s get into it!

1. The NTOI Unbreakable® Walking-Stick Umbrella
I include the NTOI Unbreakable® Walking-Stick Umbrella, a unisex style, because it is made to be not only a very tough, durable umbrella, but also a self-defense tool. (I will get to some more feminine, designed-for-women umbrellas below.)
The Unbreakable® Walking-Stick Umbrella is designed to help you defend yourself, should you need to. They say its shaft is “as strong as a steel pipe,” yet it weighs under 2 pounds. I like the saying of the creator of this umbrella. He says, “The Unbreakable Umbrella is for defending against elements, in every sense of the word.”
As an umbrella, it opens and closes smoothly. It is very well built and made to last for a long time. The name of the company that makes it is called Never-Thought-of-It LLC. They are headquartered in Vermont, in the United States.
If you watch the above video, it shows the creator of this umbrella standing on it, trying to break it as the umbrella is laid between the chairs. When he steps up on the umbrella, he is holding a 40-pound dog. It is a tough umbrella.
Pros:
- Very Strong: The shaft and the mechanisms in this umbrella are strong. It is designed to be strong enough to aid you in fending off a violent attack.
- Functions Well: This umbrella opens and closes easily.
- Keeps You Dry: The fabric used in this umbrella is high-density polyester with anti-UV backing.
Cons:
- Price: Quality umbrellas often cost more than lesser-quality ones.
2. IlMarchesato’s Women’s Exclusive Flower Design Umbrella
The IlMarchesato’s Women’s Exclusive Flower Design Umbrella, like all of IlMarchesato’s umbrellas, is of very high quality. They are handmade in Italy. One elegant feature of this umbrella is that it comes with a genuine leather handle.
The fabric used in the canopy is “the finest Italian polyester.” Its shaft and frame are not automatic but open manually. And the shafts are made with real metal. They use gold-plated brass and fiberglass ribs for most of their umbrellas. Some are silver-plated brass.
As you might imagine, IlMarchesato has many different umbrella designs. They have many different canopy fabric colors and patterns. And they have different sizes and shapes as well. Even the handles come in a variety of styles.
Pros:
- Classy: This hand-made umbrella has a very classy, elegant look.
- High-Quality: This is a handmade umbrella. They use high-quality fabric, fiberglass, and real metal.
- Variety Of Designs: They have many different canopy fabric colors and patterns, different sizes and shapes, and even different handle styles.
Cons:
- Price: Quality umbrellas often cost more than lesser-quality ones.
3. Pasotti Women’s Pink Umbrella With Flowers
If you don’t like the pink of the Pasotti Women’s Pink Umbrella With Flowers, never fear. They have hundreds of different styles and variations to choose from on their website.
Pasotti umbrellas are very high-quality. They are handmade in Italy. Pasotti has been making umbrellas since 1956.
Like IlMarchesato above, Pasotti uses quality materials in their umbrellas. Their shafts are plated solid metal. Their fabric is of the finest Italian polyester. Their handles are made from various materials, such as wood and leather.
Pros:
- Classy: This hand-made umbrella has a very classy, elegant look.
- High-Quality: This is a handmade umbrella. They use high-quality fabric, fiberglass, and real metal.
- Variety Of Designs: They have many different canopy fabric colors and patterns, different sizes and shapes, and even different handle styles.
Cons:
- Price: Quality umbrellas often cost more than lesser-quality ones.
4. Blunt Women’s Metro Travel Umbrella
A top-of-the-line travel umbrella with some excellent features is the Blunt Men’s Metro Travel Umbrella. Its price is lower than most of the other ones on this list. So if you want quality but can’t afford some of the others, this might be a great choice.
The modular nature of this umbrella is one aspect I really like. The umbrella is made of four modular parts: the handle, shaft, canopy, and frame. So, for example, you can order just a new canopy if it tears. You don’t have to purchase a whole new umbrella! That’s a good feature.
The canopy of this umbrella will flip inside out in heavy winds, which is a bummer. Umbrellas made to withstand that are the ones I like best. It won’t destroy this umbrella, though, if that occurs. When you apply pressure to the side of the canopy, the umbrella will return to its original shape. So I like that.
I would be negligent if I did not highlight Blunt’s distinguishing feature. The umbrella’s name comes from its blunt corners. You can be sure that the umbrella’s edge won’t inadvertently poke your companion because the canopy is reinforced, and the frame fits inside circular pockets.
Pros:
- High-Quality: Its fabric, shaft, and handle materials are all high quality.
- Modular Design: If one module gets damaged, you order that module instead of a new umbrella.
- Blunt Canopy Edges: The corners of the umbrella are blunt, hence the name.
Cons:
- Price: Quality umbrellas often cost more than lesser-quality ones. However, this one is less expensive than other umbrellas on this list.
5. G4Free Women’s Automatic Open Golf Umbrella
The G4Free Automatic Open Golf Umbrella is the lowest-priced umbrella on our list today. It is a high-quality umbrella for the money, a good value. But it is not on the same level as some of the other ones we have talked about in this list.
One nice feature of this umbrella is that it automatically opens with the touch of a button. It opens fast. And the batteries are rechargeable. It also has a large canopy to accommodate you and a companion golfer.
It has a “double canopy design”. If you notice in the above image, it looks like there is a smaller umbrella on top of a larger one. That is this double canopy design. This allows airflow to go through the umbrella on very windy days. According to the manufacturer, wind will not hurt this umbrella. And it makes it much easier to handle in the wind.
The canopy of this umbrella is made of ultra water resistant 210T pongee fabric. This silk-derived material is lightweight and water-resistant with SPF 50+ protection.
Pros:
- Double Canopy Design: This allows airflow to go through the umbrella on very windy days. It also makes the wind easier to handle.
- Many Colors: They make this umbrella in so many colors that everyone will find one they like.
- Automatic Opener: It automatically opens with the touch of a button.
Cons:
- Price: Quality umbrellas often cost more than lesser-quality ones. However, this is the least expensive umbrella on this list.
