The Poppy Umbrella

The Poppy Umbrella
Rembrella Ltd logo

The Poppy Umbrella was designed and launched in 1998. The umbrella was made by the internationally renowned umbrella manufacturer A. Fulton Co. Ltd. on our behalf. After 24 years of selling umbrellas to the public and to various museums and shops around the world, production of the umbrella ceased in 2022.

The idea for the umbrella was inspired by the bright red Flanders poppy. For 40 years we studied and guided visitors on the 1914-1918 Western Front in Belgium and France. Twenty members of our family served in the British Army, the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force during the First World War.

We supplied The Poppy Umbrella to a number of gift and online shops trading for military related welfare charities, not-for-profit and heritage organizations. As an ex-military family we are proud that sales of The Poppy Umbrella from these shops have helped to support their good work.
