Rainy days have a habit of exposing cheap umbrellas for what they are. Original Duckhead started from exactly that frustration — the disposable umbrella cycle that ends in a bin after one gust — and built something worth keeping instead.
The Macaron is their compact duck umbrella in a delicate lilac, a shade inspired by Parisian patisseries and the kind of soft spring light that makes everything look better. It is not a colour that shouts. It is the kind of thing you notice when someone pulls it out of their bag.
What is inside the canopy matters more than the colour, though. The fabric is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles — a specific material choice that gives the umbrella its weather performance while keeping it out of the single-use cycle that plagues the category. The construction is handmade, which is how Original Duckhead maintains the quality control that mass-produced alternatives skip.
Key details:
- Canopy fabric: 100% recycled plastic bottles
- Handmade construction
- Compact, lightweight design
- Fits easily into a tote or handbag
- Colour: Macaron (soft lilac)
- Designed as a durable alternative to disposable umbrellas
The compact format is genuinely practical — slim enough to disappear into a bag without taking over it, light enough that you will not resent carrying it on the days it does not rain. Which, in the UK, is the real test of a good umbrella.
