Shop BLUNT umbrellas at Ballantynes, the iconic New Zealand-engineered umbrella brand built to outlast every downpour and every gust. Designed by Auckland-based engineer Greig Brebner, BLUNT was created after one too many broken, inside-out umbrellas on wet London streets and the result is the single most significant advance in umbrella design in over a century. The secret is the patented BLUNT tip: each tip acts like a mini umbrella, opening under full force to evenly distribute tension from the frame to the canopy edge, creating a taut, rounded canopy that holds its shape in extreme wind rather than inverting. Every BLUNT comes with a two-year manufacturer's warranty and is built to a 38-point quality control standard.The BLUNT range at Ballantynes includes the compact Metro, ideal for everyday carry, the full-length Classic, the performance-focused Sport, and a rotating selection of limited edition artist collaborations and seasonal colourways. B Corp certified and designed in New Zealand, BLUNT is as considered in its ethics as it is in its engineering.
