Umbrellas

Victorian parasols were derived from their Chinese counterparts in the middle of the 17th century in France and England. The original idea of the parasol was invented during the Wei Dynasty of Ancient China, though, more than 2,400 years ago. The western version was eventually called an umbrella by most people, but the term "parasol" today refers to the Victorian or Asian version of the umbrella, which is traditionally more feminine and more ornate.

At GreatLookz.com and our sister site, GreatParasolz.com, we sell a wide variety of parasols from different cultures and time periods. We have replica Victorian parasols as well as Chinese and Japanese reproductions. Each is crafted with high-quality materials and are best used to shield skin from the rays of the sun, not the rain or wind due to their delicate lace or paper construction.

Our parasols come in a number of sizes. Our beautiful White Floral Lace Parasol comes in small (13 inches across), medium (20 inches across), and large (33 inches across). They are great for parties and feature nylon construction for surprising durability and convenient weatherproofing.
