ABOUT FRANCESCO MAGLIA

Since 1854, the traditional Milanese house of Francesco Maglia has stood for a level of craftsmanship that is a rare luxury today. Now led by the sixth generation under Francesco Maglia Jr., the workshop crafts umbrellas in over 70 precise steps, regarded worldwide as masterpieces. The excellence of the Milanese atelier is so highly esteemed that even the world’s most renowned luxury houses have their collections developed there. A long-standing friendship connects Michael Jondral with the Maglia family—a house that, to him, embodies the very epitome of true gentlemanly style. An umbrella by Maglia is far more than mere protection from the weather; it is a handmade, unique piece of enduring value.
