About us

the name

We founded our brand in the spirit of Jonas Hanway, the man who changed the world forever.

In 1750, Hanway walked the streets of London carrying an umbrella. People laughed. Coachmen threw mud. The city mocked him daily.

He didn't stop.

For thirty years he walked until every gentleman in London followed. Until the umbrella became not just shelter, but a statement. Until one man's defiance quietly shaped the way the world dresses against the storm.

New york, New york

We carry that name with pride.

Born in New York, we grew up watching people rush through the rain — heads down, clutching whatever umbrella they could find. Practical. Forgettable. Disposable.

We believed it could be different. That something you carry every day deserves to be chosen with the same intention as everything else you wear. That shelter and style were never meant to be separate.

Hanway was built on that conviction.
