Fulton Umbrellas is the United Kingdom's largest supplier of umbrellas and rainwear accessories. Founded in 1956 by engineer and inventor Arnold Fulton in a small factory in London, the brand has grown from a local workshop into a global leader in the industry. The company is perhaps best known for its long-standing relationship with the British Royal Family, having held a Royal Warrant to Her Majesty The Queen (and previously the Queen Mother) for many years. Their iconic Birdcage umbrella, with its clear domed canopy, remains one of their most recognizable designs.

While the brand's design, engineering, and quality control remain centered in the United Kingdom, manufacturing transitioned over time to specialized facilities internationally, primarily in China, to meet global demand while maintaining technical precision. The brand continues to be a family-run enterprise, maintaining its heritage of British engineering and sophisticated styling that has made it a staple in both luxury retail and everyday weather protection across the globe.
