Well, 2011 ended with a huge "bang" for Barrington Brolly. A good "bang"!
Following months of work with Victoria's Secret Fashion Show head designer, our parasols became part of the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, held in the Lexington Avenue Armouries, New York, NY, November, 2011.
The Fashion Show was televised late November, on CBS and affiliate stations, reaching over 90 countries world-wide. To say it was exciting, would be a great understatment.
Attached is a link to the subsequent Vancouver Sun article, dated January 5, 2012, highlighting the Barrington Brolly journey from its start in 1995, to the spectacular 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, held November 2011.

From one of two remaining umbrella manufacturers in Canada, Barrington Brolly is pleased to add a new and exotic umbrella handle to their collection. It is the epitome of classic elegance. Bamboo .....
Barrington Brolly is now offering imported Italian Bamboo handles, as an option, for their products. We will also continue to offer a variety of other handle styles and prices, to suit our clients requirements. How will you know it's a genuine "Barrington"?
Only designer thread is used; all loose threads are buried; hand-sewing is part of our canopy construction, and of course, there is the touch of 24 karat gold. That's right, every Barrington umbrella, and Barrington parasol, has a 24K gold-plated collar, with our signature 
We're not for everyone.
Are we for you?

To say I'm proud, would be an unqualified understatement. Barrington Brolly has been commissioned by a group of very strong, committed women, to produce parasols for their personal use, and to also be used as a unique and special fund-raising item. 
Who are these women, and what does a USA Army Combat Uniform have to do with this? Well, these brave ladies are the wives, girlfriends, significant 'others' .... of soldiers with 1-360th D Company, stationed in Ft. Bliss, El Paso, Texas. They are with the Family Readiness Group for D Company.
This particular (discarded) summer Army Combat Uniform, which was worn in Iraq, by the husband of one lady, was deconstructed and the fabric re-used for the canopy of one very special parasol. Her husband's Company badges, names badges, etc., which were part of this uniform, were also included on the parasol. The lining of the parasol is khaki Solarweave®, and includes a pocket from the uniform, plus the original (inside) uniform fabric labels.

Others of the Company's Family Readiness Group will also be able to send their husbands' discarded summer uniforms, so they can have them made into something special to them. Surplus fabric will be used for the fund-raising parasols.
Symbolically, the men who wore the US Army Combat Uniforms, will continue to protect their loved ones.
We couldn't be prouder; supporting this unit in particular, and, symbolically, all other countries' soldiers and their families, fighting to protect us all.

"It's in the details!".
New this year - all Barrington Brolly umbrellas and parasols produced in 2009, will have an added touch of elegance. All collar bands used to identify our products, will be 24-karat gold-plated. That's right. What could be a more fitting way to express the quality and elegance of our products, than with 24-karat gold name collars.
Now that's quality!

We are so very pleased to add some very special handles for use on our umbrellas. The handles are all individually carved by artist Jim Yelton, a member of the Coast Salish Nation, who was born in Squamish, British Columbia. 
Jim credits his father, Michael Yelton, as the one from whom he learned so much about Native traditions relating to his cultural background. For over 25 years, Jim has been carving plaques, masks, bowls, paddles and 'talking' sticks. Now he has produced some stunning umbrella handles for Barrington Brolly, each one carefully sculpted and signed by the artist - each one a unique piece of art.

This is our first piece in our French Maid Collection - and it has 'SASSY AND SEXY' in bucket-loads! Bubble-gum pink water repellent Solarweave®, trimmed along the lower edge in a narrow ruffled lace.

And, of course, as with all our umbrellas, the inside seams are finished with a 'french-seam' technique.
But, it's the black silk charmeuse corset (also water repellent), trimmed in white lace, with white grommets, and black kangaroo leather laces, that steals the show!
