Built to last
Metro is the go-to umbrella for days where you’re not sure what's on the horizon. It conveniently fits in your handbag, tote, or backpack so you’re always prepared, whatever the weather.
An auto-open button pops open the canopy for instant coverage at your fingertips. Built with unique 360° spinning technology, the Metro’s canopy is designed to elegantly handle knocks when navigating narrow spaces.
Please note, due to the nature of the UV fabric on our Metro UV models, creasing does occur.

Made to be modular
Each BLUNT Umbrella is made up of four primary modular components – the canopy, frame, shaft and handle. This thoughtful and innovative design allows for easy repair and maintenance.
Canopy
The canopy is secured to each rib with removable loops and finished with a decorative outer thread, making it simple to detach for replacement - wether through our workshops or by a confident DIYer.
Frame
The frame is the most complex part of the umbrella, with multiple components. Think of building blocks seamlessly fitting together in harmony, clicking into place to create a sturdy, reliable structure.
Shaft
The shaft is the central point of connection within the umbrella framework, acting as an anchor to bring all of the modular components together.
Handle
Like a bayonet fitting on a lightbulb, the handle can be removed and attached by pushing down and gently turning while keeping the umbrella shaft still.
Radial Tensioning System
A system of individually engineered hardware components – frame, tip and canopy – working in harmony to create a high-performing, aerodynamic structure.
Frame
The BLUNT Umbrella frame features a unique strut mechanism that stresses the ribs, creating an effortless outward tension in the canopy as the umbrella is opened.
Canopy
The iconic and uniquely shaped canopy is the cumulative effect of our six patented BLUNT tips. The canopy’s tautness – especially at the edge – provides a rigid wing-like surface that withstands all wind conditions.
Tip
BLUNT Umbrellas are safer and more robust thanks to patented tips which act like mini umbrellas at the edge of the canopy. This evenly distributes tension from the frame into the canopy edge, and eliminating the need for sharp points.
