Swaine, Malacca Prince of Wales Umbrella

[Acquire Product]

Named in homage to the longstanding association between Brigg and British royalty, the Prince of Wales is the definitive "gentleman’s walking umbrella". While historically Brigg has been the preferred maker for generations of the aristocracy, this specific model—defined by its distinctive teardrop-shaped Malacca handle—was uniquely named after the Prince of Wales himself. It is a piece that carries the weight of nearly two centuries of British craft, serving as a silent badge of status that, like a fine watch or a hand-welted shoe, separates the proper gentleman from the crowd.

A masterwork of technical refinement, each Malacca Prince of Wales Umbrella is handcrafted in England using traditional techniques that have remained unchanged since 1836. The handle is crafted from refined Malacca cane—grown in the Straits of Malacca—prized for its lightweight strength and honey-brown "teardrop" silhouette that ensures no two are exactly alike. The two-piece construction features a stained beechwood shaft for natural tensile strength, finished with a signature sterling silver nose cap and collar. Paired with a high-tensile rib frame and a deep Jaguar Green canopy, it is an investment piece designed to be cherished, repaired, and passed down through generations.
