Just in time for the holidays, we’re excited to introduce the second limited-edition Nanga x Original Duckhead umbrella - a collaboration that blends Japanese outdoor heritage with London design-minded sustainability.
Following the sellout success of our first drop, this new release arrives in a striking deep navy colourway, merging Nanga’s iconic outdoor craftsmanship with Original Duckhead’s instantly recognisable duck-head handle.
Whether you’re shopping for an outdoor enthusiast, a design collector, or someone who appreciates gifting that feels thoughtful and rare, this limited edition is the perfect holiday gift for 2025.
Why We Collaborated Again: Heritage Meets Playful Sustainability
The first Nanga x Original Duckhead collaboration became an instant favourite among collectors - praised for its design appeal, durability, and playful outdoor references.
This second drop builds on that momentum. As Hypebeast put it,
“The Nanga x Original Duckhead umbrella is all about the two’s shared avian influence... It’s packaged in a puffy case that resembles one of Nanga’s sleeping bags.”
Both brands share a love for the natural world, craftsmanship, and functional design - so it felt only right to create a sequel that pushes the collaboration further.
A Design Story Worth Collecting
This edition features an inky navy canopy, evoking Nanga’s heritage in outdoor performance and Original Duckhead’s love for bold colour. The iconic duck-head handle anchors the collaboration with charm, character, and quality.
But the hero of this release?
The puffy sleeping-bag case.
When the umbrella is packed away, it slides into a case inspired by Nanga’s world-famous down sleeping bags - complete with a delightful illustration of a duck tucked in, “sleeping” serenely.
It’s playful. It’s premium. It’s unlike anything else on the market - and that’s exactly why it makes a perfect limited-edition gift.
