About PASOTTI

Splendid umbrellas, for design and fabric, for decorations and handles. Masterpieces that bring the "Made in Italy" of this particular sector to the world. In the Mantuan countryside, in Castellucchio, there are those who continue to produce luxury umbrellas, entirely handmade, and distribute them to every corner of the globe, with a brand that is about to turn 70: Pasotti. Pasotti stands out for its creativity and continuous research in materials, all exclusively Italian: enameled brass, Swarovski® crystals, handles in fine woods, wonderful decorations. "The company was founded in 1956," explains Eva Giacomini, "and it was founded by my mother, Ernesta Pasotti, who, after working for an umbrella factory in Milan, returned to her hometown, opened the business in a rustic setting, and began producing beautiful umbrellas that she sold directly, sometimes even riding her scooter. Then, from a small artisan, together with my father Vittorio, the company grew, with over a hundred employees. Today, industrial production no longer has space due to global competition, so we have downsized: we produce no more than 40,000 umbrellas a year, which we then supply directly to the best boutiques in 75 countries around the world. 93% of our turnover concerns foreign markets, mainly Europe, North America, Russia, and China. In addition to producing the Pasotti line, we boast private-label collaborations with the world's largest fashion brands."Read their story
