In the British weather, a good umbrella can be an essential piece of kit for all outdoor observers of the night sky. Numerous companies manufacture umbrellas featuring the constellations, however, the Double CG umbrellas by London Undercover are definitely the “Rolls-Royce” of these products.

The “CG”, meaning “City Gent”, is a specific style of classic walking umbrella that is full-length and not telescopic. The Double CG Umbrellas are 92.5cm (36") long and provide a canopy of 106cm (42") diameter.

London Undercover’s products are handmade in London using premium materials such as the solid beech wood shaft, maple handle, and sturdy steel frame. Brass parts are used throughout, and Tip Cups protect tips and ribs.

The Constellation design has two polyester fabric layers: an outer layer with a clean, traditional, understated solid dark colour and an inner layer with the constellation pattern. For space enthusiasts, London Undercover also manufacture a version with a cratered Moon surface inner lining.

These umbrellas can be personalised with an engraving on the ring above the handle in a choice of three fonts. A gift bag and gift card can also be added for a small extra cost.
