Knirps History Once upon a time, a gentleman called Hans Haupt found it difficult to carry his walking stick and an umbrella at the same time, so he decided to look for a solution. The result, the first umbrella with a collapsible frame - his new invention fitted perfectly in his pocket and was always available when it rained! Given its small size, Hans referred to his new umbrella as "knirps", which means "little guy" in German, and that's how this famous brand got its name.
