      About Us
      It is said there are two certainties in life: death and taxes. If you live in London, a third should be added: rain. Given this fact an umbrella is not so much an accessory but a necessity …….a constant companion.

      In 1868, during the reign of Queen Victoria, Mr Thomas Fox opened a shop in the city of London, to sell such necessities. Since that time all of our umbrellas have always been and will continue to be made to the very highest quality standards that our customers have come to expect and require from the famous Fox umbrella.

      Returns Policy
      All our products are made to order, therefore, we do not operate a returns policy. However, please notify us immediately (within 7 days of delivery) if goods are faulty on delivery.

      The customer is requesting that Fox Umbrellas Ltd will provide the "service" of customising and personalising an umbrella. All our umbrellas are handmade and made to order, as such we do not carry stock. By placing an order you understand you waiver your right to cancel once the order has been placed. You can purchase our umbrellas from many retailers who operate under the Distance Selling Regulations. We are exempt from the Distance Selling Regulations on the following grounds.
      Contracting us to perform a service which includes the personalisation of the product which otherwise would not be made. This complies with part 13 (a) and (c) of the Distance Selling Regulations http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2000/2334/regulation/13/made

      Umbrella Care 
      Fox Umbrellas put a lot of time and effort into each umbrella we produce, with the right aftercare your umbrella will last for years to come.

      Whilst our umbrellas are made to a very high standard, they are designed for normal weather conditions. You should not take your umbrella out very strong winds or lightning storms. In very strong winds rain does not fall vertically as the wind “drives” the rain at more of an angle, no umbrella will protect you in these types of conditions. Wind damage does not constitute a faulty frame.

      Always open the umbrella pointing downwards, lift the ribs slightly and slide the umbrella open.

      After use, make sure you leave your umbrella open to dry (whenever possible).

      Do not allow water on the underside of your umbrella and then close it, this will eventually cause rust.

      When the umbrella is completely dry it should be furled carefully. Hold the handle and gently pull out any fabric that has been caught in the ribs when closing it down. Then lightly move your hand from the top of the umbrella in a circular motion, smoothing the fabric without twisting the ribs over each other. The “E”Band can then be fastened.

      Never leave your umbrella wet and creased up, this will eventually cause damage to the fabric of the umbrella and will cause rust on the steel frame. Please note prolonged exposure to sunlight will cause the fabric to fade.

      Please see the FAQ section of our website at www.foxumbrellas.com for more information and instructional videos on how to roll an umbrella.
