Knirps

Knirps. The umbrella with the red dot.

We love rain and sun.

Knirps is a world-renowned brand whose success story goes all the way back to Berlin in 1928. Hans Haupt had been wounded in the First World War and needed a walking stick, so it was hard for him to use the big, unwieldy umbrellas of the time. His solution? A “little friend”: the first telescoping umbrella, an invention that revolutionized the industry. From that moment on, there were no limits to the success of the Knirps brand.

People all over the world recognize our trademark red dot. It stands for our brand values:

• Protection in all weather: Ever since our founding in 1928, Knirps has been researching and innovating to become an expert and market leader in shielding you from rain, wind and sun.
