Product description

The Sapor Essential follows the familiar form of the folding umbrella. What sets it apart is the care with which it is made: its comfortably shaped black handle sits securely in the hand. The The automatic open/close mechanism operates the canopy at the press of a button.

Eight fibreglass ribs tension the canopy evenly and give it stability. With a canopy diameter of 107 cm, the Essential protects one or two people.

The tightly woven pongee canopy allows water to bead and run off cleanly, while giving the green a rich, matte surface. Closed, the Essential measures 32 cm and weighs 423 g. A padded zipped sleeve protects the umbrella; the cotton wrist strap makes it easier to carry.

For this version, the canopy is finished in solid green.

Five-year warranty

Our umbrellas are made to accompany you for many years. Every Sapor umbrella therefore comes with a five-year warranty from the date of purchase.

The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship and requires proof of purchase. Damage caused by improper use or external forces is excluded.

If you make a warranty claim, we will assess whether your umbrella can be repaired or should be replaced with an equivalent product. Email hello@sapordesign.com with a detailed description of the problem; photographs will help us make an initial assessment.

The warranty applies in addition to your statutory rights and does not limit them.

Use & safety instructions

Check the umbrella for visible damage before opening it. Do not use a damaged umbrella; contact us at hello@sapordesign.com.

Open the umbrella only when there is sufficient space, and never towards other people or animals. Gently shake out folding umbrellas before opening so that the fabric and ribs can unfold freely.

Avoid using the umbrella in exceptionally strong winds and keep the outside of the canopy facing into the wind. Do not allow children to play with the umbrella or its opening mechanism.

After use, leave the umbrella fully open to dry at room temperature. Return it to its sleeve only when completely dry. Marks can be removed carefully with a damp cloth.

Der Taschenschirm für den Alltag

Vertraut in der Form. Sorgfältig ausgeführt.

Der Essential ist unsere Ausführung des vertrauten Taschenschirms: kompakt, robust und bis in die Bedienung sorgfältig gestaltet.

Sein angenehm geformter Griff, die Auf-Zu-Automatik und acht Fiberglas-Streben machen ihn zu einem verlässlichen Schirm für regelmäßige Nutzung.

Im Detail

Kompakter schwarzer Sapor Taschenschirm in einer grauen Manteltasche

Ergonomischer Griff

Der angenehm geformte schwarze Griff liegt sicher in der Hand. Die integrierte Auf-Zu-Automatik öffnet und schließt das Schirmdach per Knopfdruck.

Doppelstreben-Gerüst

Das einzigartige Gerüst aus acht Fiberglas-Doppelstreben und ein dreiteiliger Aluminiumschaft bilden die stabile und zugleich kompakte Konstruktion.

Dicht gewebtes Schirmdach

Der Bezug aus Pongee lässt Regentropfen sauber abperlen. Seine matte Oberfläche gibt unseren Farben und Motiven eine ruhige, satte Erscheinung.

Einzigartige Details

Gerade weil ein Regenschirm häufig als nebensächlicher Gegenstand behandelt wird, interessieren uns auch die Details, die leicht übersehen werden.

Sichere Spitzen

Die extra dicken Sicherheitsspitzen sorgen für einen sicheren Gebrauch und den Schutz anderer Personen, wenn Sie mit Ihrem Schirm unterwegs sind.

Kompakt und großzügig

Geschlossen misst der Essential 32 Zentimeter. Geöffnet bietet sein 107 Zentimeter breites Schirmdach ausreichend Raum für eine oder zwei Personen.

Im Gebrauch

Ein verlässlicher Schirm für jeden Tag.

Der Essential verbindet ein großzügiges Schirmdach mit den kompakten Abmessungen eines Taschenschirms. Er lässt sich schnell öffnen, geschlossen gut verstauen und begleitet selbstverständlich durch Alltag und Reise.

Die Auf-Zu-Automatik macht ihn mit einem Knopfdruck einsatzbereit.

Mit 423 Gramm ist er leichter als der Iconic, da sein Gerüst aus 8 Streben besteht. Die Spannweite ist identisch mit dem Iconic und mit 107 cm ebenfalls großzügig gestaltet, um im Regen sicher trocken zu bleiben, im Zweifel auch zu zweit.

Any questions?

Frequently asked questions

Is the canopy waterproof?

The tightly woven polyester is highly water-repellent, allowing raindrops to bead and run off the surface. After prolonged use, some moisture may remain around seams, folds and between layers of fabric.

The umbrella should therefore be left fully open to dry at room temperature after every use.

What does automatic open/close mechanism mean?

On Essential and Iconic, pressing the button opens and closes the canopy.

Once the canopy has closed, push the telescopic shaft towards the handle by hand until it audibly locks into place. Keep sufficient distance from other people while doing so.

What should I do if a folding umbrella inverts?

A strong gust can turn the canopy of a flexible folding umbrella inside out. This does not necessarily indicate a defect; it allows the frame to release some of the load.

Close the umbrella using the automatic open-and-close button, check the ribs and fabric for visible damage, then open it again. Do not force or bend the ribs back by hand.

Are Sapor umbrellas wind-resistant?

Our umbrellas are designed so that the frame and fibreglass ribs can yield in a controlled way in the wind. No umbrella, however, can be wind-resistant without limits.

In strong gusts, keep the outside of the canopy facing into the wind wherever possible. During storms or extreme wind, we recommend keeping the umbrella closed.

No umbrella can remain fully protected under every wind condition.

Why does Sapor use fibreglass ribs?

Fibreglass combines strength with a degree of flexibility. In the wind, the frame can yield in a controlled way rather than bending permanently at once.

Depending on the model, it is paired with an aluminium or steel shaft. An umbrella’s resilience, however, always depends on the complete construction—not on a single material.

What distinguishes a well-made umbrella?

The number of ribs is only one factor. What matters is the interplay of a strong yet flexible frame, an evenly tensioned canopy, clean stitching, reliable mechanics and a handle that sits comfortably in the hand.

For us, access to spare parts, repair options and a clear warranty are also part of a well-made product.

How many people can the umbrellas cover?

All current Sapor umbrellas provide generous coverage for one person and can also be used by two.

Essential and Iconic have a diameter of 107 cm, while Distinct measures 113 cm. Classic and Modern offer the greatest coverage at 121 cm and are particularly comfortable when regularly shared by two people.

What is the difference between Essential and Iconic?

Both are compact folding umbrellas with a 107 cm canopy and a closed length of 32 cm.

Essential weighs 423 g and has an eight-rib frame and a comfortable black handle. Iconic weighs 463 g and has a particularly stable ten-rib frame. Its handle, cotton wrist strap and canopy are all colour-matched.

Essential is the more familiar choice for everyday use. Iconic is our most distinctive folding umbrella in both construction and design.

Which Sapor umbrella is right for me?

If you are looking for a folding umbrella for a bag or backpack, choose between Essential and Iconic. Essential is our classic folding umbrella for everyday use. Iconic is our flagship folding model, with a particularly stable ten-rib frame and a consistently monochrome design.

Classic and Modern are our largest full-length umbrellas. Their construction is largely identical; the main difference is the handle. Classic has a curved wooden crook handle, while Modern has a straight wooden handle.

Distinct is our most individual line. Its ironwood handle, limited designs and—depending on the variant—double-layer canopy give it a distinctive presence.
