Our mission is to challenge throwaway culture in the umbrella industry through conscious, design-led products that are made to last, and made to be loved.

We use recycled materials as part of that approach. Our umbrella canopies are made using fabric created from post-consumer plastic. Depending on the style and size, each canopy uses fabric made from the equivalent of up to nine plastic bottles.To date, we have repurposed almost 9 million bottles, with a goal of reaching 25 million by 2030.

Original Duckhead was founded in 2012 with a clear point of view. If umbrellas were better made and better designed, people would keep them. Fewer last-minute purchases, fewer forgotten umbrellas, less waste.

We create everyday essentials that encourage thoughtful choices, not through guilt, but through design you genuinely want to carry, gift, and collect.

Responsibility is not a finish line for us. It is a practice. We keep pushing for better in our materials, our partners, and the way we operate as we grow.

Original Duckhead is a certified B Corporation and a member of 1% for the Planet, reflecting our commitment to building a business that balances purpose with progress.

Our founder identified a problem: the umbrella industry is built around disposability. The solution was just as simple. Create umbrellas that feel worth keeping, and use materials more thoughtfully wherever we can.
