Petrichor - The Scent of Rain

Petrichor: The Beauty of Quiet Moments

It's the quiet, unobtrusive things that touch us. The scent of rain as it falls on dry ground - known as petrichor - is one of those moments. It evokes memories, emotions and an almost tangible connection to nature. For us, petrichor was the perfect inspiration for our latest project: the Petrichor photoshoot and the launch of our new model, Distinct .


Behind the scenes:

Our latest shoot took place in the middle of Cologne, between modern and simple architecture, wide asphalt roads and clear lines. The concept? Show everyday situations in a new light - moments that everyone knows but rarely notices consciously. Here, rain is not only understood as a functionality, but as an experience that tells stories.

The idea behind Petrichor:

  • Rain as an emotional element.
  • Clarity and functionality combined with elegance.
  • Everyday situations that are reinterpreted through design.

The scenes:
From a moment of waiting on the side of the road, a walk in the rain, to quickly opening the umbrella as the first drops fall, every shot should show the Distinct umbrella as a silent companion.


Distinct: Three years of dedication, a clear vision

With the Distinct we have created a model that offers more than just protection from the rain. It is a product that is defined by clarity, value and durability. After three years of intensive development, we are proud to present a model that for the first time also includes limited designs .

Why the Distinct is special:

  • Limited Edition: Our first exclusive designs in small quantities.
  • Timeless aesthetics: Clear lines and a style that lasts without attracting attention.
  • Highest quality: materials and workmanship that last through everyday use – for people who value substance.

Not just an umbrella. A statement for understatement.


Styling and atmosphere: A tribute to minimalism

The photo shoot was deliberately kept minimalist to underline the essence of our brand. Inspired by the clear aesthetic of previous Jil Sander looks, neutral colors, high-quality materials and simple workwear elements were in the foreground. Everything was geared towards putting the umbrella at the center - as a functional and at the same time aesthetic object.

Two young people whose movements seemed effortless and natural. They nonchalantly reflected our values: subtlety, elegance and authenticity.

A city that is somewhat under the radar: Cologne. A mix of old and new buildings, clear lines and asphalt - places that seem both international and timeless, inspired by cities like Berlin, Paris or New York.


Invitation to a new look at everyday life

Petrichor is not just a photo shoot or a product launch. It is an invitation to be conscious of everyday life. Our umbrellas are more than functional objects - they are silent companions that take a back seat to make room for moments.

  • A walk in the rain that clears the mind.
  • The first drop that opens the umbrella – almost like a little ritual.
  • The familiar sound of rain, which represents calm and stability.

For people who value the essentials

The new Distinct and the Petrichor concept represent our philosophy: clarity, value and durability. We design for like-minded people who seek beauty in simplicity and substance in detail. Our designs are made to have a quiet effect and last a long time.


An attitude that remains

Our new Distinct model embodies the perfect walking umbrella. We set another standard for the timelessness and quality of umbrellas that characterize all Sapor products.

The result of dedication, precision and the belief that less can really be more.
