Schirmfachgeschäft Brigitte – Niche Stores

What: Umbrella store
Special: You can have your precious umbrella repaired!
Since: 1910

The fact that a store can survive alone on selling only umbrellas still astounds us. For more than 100 years, this shop has selling and repairing umbrellas in all kinds of colours and fabrics. While they also sell rainwear and gloves by quality brands ( you should check out those beautiful Austrian artisan pieces) umbrellas is their business. And while you can buy an umbrella now for as low as 5€, if we’re really into this sustainable lifestyle that we all should adopt, buying a quality umbrella and keeping it for life is not such a crazy idea. Here you’ll also find heart-warmingly friendly and personalised costumer service – also in English, just like in the olden days. And you’ll also probably learn a thing or 2 about this seemingly ordinary object that may make you see it in a different way.
If you’re in need of a rain cape, a bike poncho, an umbrella for your kid, or an umbrella/walking cane, this is the perfect place to find it!

Quote from the staff: “After their third cheap umbrella breaks, people want something proper again – that’s why they come to us.”
