History
Bella Umbrella started by renting out vintage umbrellas dating from the 1900's - 1960's for weddings, events and photo shoots. The demand for the pagoda shape was so high that we looked for a current day manufacturer to fill the demand. No company was manufacturing this very particular rib design. We decided to create our own design of the pagoda and our first run was manufactured in 2005. As avid umbrella collectors and enthusiasts, we chose to offer a new Bella Umbrella Signature Pagoda limited-run color every year. The best part is that each Signature Pagoda handle can unscrew from the canopy and is interchangeable with previous and future Bella Umbrella Signature Pagoda handles and canopies.
