The British High Commission Umbrella Case Study

Union Jack flag umbrella for diplomats

Client: The British High Commission

Product: Golf Sports Umbrella UK 

Customisation on umbrella: screen print on outside of umbrella

The British High Commission required premium umbrellas for visiting diplomats. As an organisation coordinating some of the world’s most important people, the umbrellas needed to be more than just reliable; they had to feel considered, carry a high-quality British finish and stand out for all the right reasons.

Having previously created a bespoke umbrella fit for Her Majesty The Queen, our team was already used to working to exacting standards. We brought the same level of care and attention to this British flag umbrella project.

The all over print to achieve the largest possible print of the Union Flag print on the umbrella draws attention to this umbrella and the plain blue panels are matched in to the flag blue.

The brief

• A bold Union Jack design that would be instantly recognisable

• A smart, durable golf sports umbrella suitable for repeated use

• A premium look and feel to reflect the High Commission’s status

• Colours that matched the Union Flag accurately and consistently

Our solution

Our design team got to work and developed a single-canopy Union Jack flag umbrella using our Golf Sports Umbrella UK as the base.

We created:

• An all-over print across the canopy to achieve the largest possible coverage of the Union Flag

• Plain blue panels colour-matched to the blue of the flag to keep the design cohesive

• A sturdy frame made for frequent use in unpredictable weather

• A colour-matched handle that completes the look and reinforces the premium feel

The result is a UK flag umbrella that draws attention without sacrificing practicality, a reliable piece of kit for diplomats who need something smart, durable and unmistakably British.

Print, quality and finish

The umbrellas were screen printed on the outside of the canopy to deliver rich, solid colours and sharp flag details. As with all of our custom umbrellas, we focused on:

• Consistent colour across the full run

• Clean alignment of the Union Jack design

• A robust finish suitable for regular use

Every stage, from artwork to sampling and final production, was overseen by our in-house team to ensure the final British flag umbrellas met the High Commission’s expectations.

The result

The finished umbrellas provide:

• Strong visual branding for the British High Commission

• A practical, weather-ready accessory for visiting diplomats

• A distinctive Union Jack presence in photographs and public appearances
