Exclusive brown women's umbrella decorated with a leopard skin motif - Pasotti

Prestigious design combined with the highest quality raw materials gives us the image of the Italian company Pasotti.

The manufactory mainly focuses on designing and creating umbrellas with a vast collection of patterns, styles, and handles. These are individual masterpieces of functional art, entirely produced in Italy, in a unique sector, distributed in the best boutiques worldwide. In the countryside near Mantova, there is still someone who handcrafts luxurious umbrellas and exports them to every corner of the world, using a brand that will soon celebrate its 65th anniversary: Pasotti. This Italian brand is distinguished by creativity and a consistent search for materials, exclusively Italian: as well as enameled brass handles, Swarovski® crystals, noble silk fabrics, and magnificent decorations.

"The company was founded in 1956," explains owner Mrs. Eva Giacomini, "by her mother Ernesta Pasotti, who started producing unique umbrellas, selling them directly, sometimes riding a bicycle. Later, together with the current owner’s father Vittorio, who mainly handled sales, the company grew from a small artisan workshop into a large enterprise employing over a hundred workers. Today, there is no room for such large-scale industrial production, so the brand has scaled down and now focuses mainly on luxury umbrellas in limited editions. It produces 40,000 handmade umbrellas annually: these are very high-quality products sold in the most prestigious boutiques in 75 countries. 93% of our turnover is abroad, mainly in Europe, North America, Russia, and China. Apart from the Pasotti collection, the company is proud of a series of private label collaborations with some of the most global fashion brands."

The foreign market is truly growing, thanks to Nicola and Andrea Begotti, the next generation involved in the most important fashion weeks and investing heavily in online presence, thereby increasing brand recognition.

Italian production of luxury umbrellas continues from generation to generation.
