Unique umbrellas with a huge collection of designs, styles, handles. Single masterpieces entirely manufactured in Italy, in a unique sector all over the world. Pasotti stands out for its creativity and consistent material search, all exclusively Italian: enameled brass handles, Swarovski® crystals, precious silk fabrics and marvellous decorations. “The company was started in 1956” – explains the owner, Mrs Eva Giacomini – “and was founded by my mother, Ernesta Pasotti, who began producing one-of-a-kind umbrellas that she sold directly. Then, with my father Vittorio Giacomini, who mainly took care of sales, the company grew from a small artisan company to a large one with over one hundred employees. Today we mostly concentrate on limited edition umbrellas. We produce 40.000 handmade umbrellas a year: they are very high quality products that are sold in the most prestigious boutiques in 75 countries all around the world. Besides the Pasotti collection, we are proud for a series of private-label cooperations with the most worldwide fashion brands”. And the overseas market is truly continuing to grow, thanks to Nicola and Andrea Begotti, the next generation, taking part to the most important fashion weeks and investing a lot on the web, thus increasing the brand recognition. Italian luxury umbrella manufacturing lives on from generation to generation.
