About the original
ShedRain was founded in 1947 in Portland, Oregon by Meyer and Sol Blauer with uncles Barney Liebreich and Nathan Gold, who bought a small umbrella repair shop and built it into what the company claims is the oldest and only U.S.-based umbrella manufacturer still operating a domestic production facility. Its Vortex V2 54" Vented Jumbo Compact is a vented double-canopy auto open-and-close umbrella with a steel frame, wind-tunnel tested to 75 mph and closing down to 15 inches. The SS21 Supreme collab is a 54" auto open-and-close umbrella printed with a New York street-sign pattern and a box logo patch on the strap, released at $58 retail in black, red and natural colorways.
About ShedRain

ShedRain is the oldest umbrella manufacturer in the United States and the only one still running a domestic factory, producing wind-vented Vortex frames, the WindPro line, and clear-canopy bubble umbrellas, a category they expanded in the 1970s. The company also private-labels for outdoor and accessories brands. Supreme has collaborated with ShedRain on co-branded umbrellas in standard and bubble shapes.
