| Description: |
In 1868, during the reign of Queen Victoria, Mr Thomas Fox opened a shop in the City of London, making and selling whalebone framed, silk umbrellas. In the 1880s a major change in the manufacturing process took place with the introduction of a stainless steel umbrella mechanism, invented by a Mr Samuel Fox (no relation). By replacing the traditional whalebone frame of the umbrella with the new steel frame, Fox created a unique stronger and lighter umbrella. And so the modern umbrella was born. Since those days the company has built a reputation for excellence, skill and superb craftsmanship, and today the quality and attention to detail are still the hallmark of a Fox Umbrella. The process of making Fox Umbrellas has changed very little, as to obtain the high quality that we require it is still necessary to rely on the skill of hand-workers rather than machines. Fox Umbrellas, with its history and globally renowned reputation for excellence, still exists today, albeit with a change of name to Fox Umbrellas Ltd.
