Salsa: Turn Up the Heat
First stop: Salsa.
Bold red shapes splash across the print in a nod to the sauce that shares its name. Graphic, energetic and with just the right amount of heat, Salsa was made to stand out.
As autumn wardrobes return to denim, coats and knitwear, it's an easy way to bring a brighter colour into the mix - whether you're carrying the Salsa Duck Umbrella, matching reusable bag, or both.
No spice tolerance required.
Deli: Pasta, But Make It a Print
Penne for your thoughts?
Deli takes one of the best bits of any market trip - the food counter - and turns it into a playful print scattered with pasta shapes.
Nostalgic, fresh and deliberately fun, Deli is for anyone who believes an everyday accessory doesn't have to look everyday.
And because the print is available across both our Duck Umbrella and matching reusable bag, you can take the deli counter with you whatever the forecast.
Consider your new-season accessories served.
Bloom: Straight From the Flower Stall
Then there are the flowers.
Bloom takes all the optimism of a market flower stall and turns it into a colourful floral print made for rainy days.
It's our take on the classic floral umbrella, with a matching reusable bag to complete the set.
Bright enough to lift an autumn outfit. Practical enough to carry every day.
And unlike the bunch you picked up on Sunday morning, these flowers are particularly happy in the rain.
Umbrella or Bag? Make It a Matching Set
Why choose one market find when you can take home the set?
Each Mercado print is available as a Duck Umbrella and matching reusable bag, with the option to buy them together as a coordinated umbrella and bag set.
Our reusable bags are designed to fold away into their own pouch, ready to come out for market trips, commutes, errands and everything you somehow ended up buying when you only went out for one thing.
Paired with the matching umbrella, you've got two everyday essentials covered in the same Salsa, Deli or Bloom print.
And you'll save when you buy the matching bundle rather than purchasing the umbrella and bag separately.
Your umbrella keeps you dry. Your matching bag keeps everything else covered.
Bright Accessories for the Change in Season
Autumn and fall fashion doesn't have to mean leaving colour behind.
As coats, layers and heavier fabrics return to the wardrobe, smaller accessories are an easy place to introduce brighter colour and print.
A colourful umbrella, a printed reusable bag, or a matching set can bring personality to an otherwise simple autumn outfit — while also being genuinely useful when the forecast becomes less predictable.
That's the thinking behind Mercado.
These aren't prints designed to disappear when the season changes again. They're everyday objects made more joyful through design.
Expressive enough to collect. Practical enough for every day.
Market-Fresh. Rain-Ready. Made to Last.
Underneath all the pasta, flowers and salsa heat are two hardworking everyday accessories.
The Mercado umbrellas use our signature Duck Umbrella design, with a canopy made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester derived from recycled plastic bottles, a PFAS-free waterproof treatment, wind-resistant construction and our distinctive wooden duck-head handle.
The matching reusable bags continue the print beyond the canopy, giving you another way to carry Mercado every day.
Because while the prints might be playful, the products they're printed on are designed to be used.
Again and again.
Pick It Like a Market Find. Keep It for Life.
There's a reason we care so much about print.
Original Duckhead began with the idea that everyday objects don't have to be forgettable. If something is practical, thoughtfully made and designed in a way that makes you want to keep using it, it has a much better chance of staying in your life.
Mercado brings that idea to the market.
Choose Salsa for something bold.
Pick Deli for a little pasta-shaped joy.
Take home Bloom for flowers that last considerably longer than a week.
Umbrella, bag or the matching set.
Pick it like a market find. Keep it for life.
