Jean Paul Gaultier is a French fashion designer, famous for his bold creations and for the Breton striped shirt, which has become his signature. His fashion house also offers perfumes and accessories. At Bemon, the brand is represented by automatic folding umbrellas.

The wrist strap is the small cord attached to the handle. Slipped around the wrist, it prevents dropping the umbrella and allows you to carry it closed while keeping your hands free. It also helps to hang it up to dry.

The ribs are the rods that hold the fabric taut. Reinforced with metal, they are more resistant to gusts and deform less over time. Jean Paul Gaultier umbrellas have 8 of them, a good balance between sturdiness and weight.

Open it and let it air dry at room temperature, away from any radiator that could damage the fabric. Once dry, fold it back up and store it in its cover. An umbrella stored while damp may develop marks and an odor.

Yes, every Jean Paul Gaultier folding umbrella comes with a protective cover. It keeps the umbrella clean in your bag and retains water after use. Remember to let it dry as well before using it again.
