This brought us so much joy that we wanted to share it with others, by creating our unique designs. We wanted to stand out from the crowd not just in beauty, but also in functionality. We didn’t want to sell beautiful umbrellas that would break in just a few months. It took years of research and testing before we went online with our first products—figuring out what really makes the best umbrella. We started our lives in completely different fields and just followed our passion…it brings us so much joy to see and hear others exclaim at the uniqueness and originality of our designs. We hope to one day see the rainy streets covered in color with La Bella Umbrellas.”
