This is a special parasol covered in a lovely French Lace called the Parashell Victoria. It’s a very limited edition parasol. The other has a pale beige base covered with black lace. Lacy elegance in a Victorian Parashell style.
Spring has sprung and with it bloom the Sakura Blossoms. Once again, the Somei Yoshino Sakura Parasols come out too. This limited edition parasol was created in collaboration with the wonderful artist, Aya Kato. A wonderful artist who works with fairytales and traditional motifs, turning them into bold, psychedelic, contemporary art pieces in a style sometimes recalling Manga and Art Nouveau.
This spring we will be releasing our glitziest Parashell ever! The Parashell DISCO parasol. Available in Black, Beige and Red. If you’re looking for an eye-catching elegant parasol this spring, look no further. This jaw-dropper is bound to stop people in their tracks!
If you’re wild at heart and looking for an umbrella to show it, the Rhythm Savannah Pumpkin umbrella is for you! This new item is fabulous and comes in two patterns. Zebra and Leopard. The Zebra comes with a Silver handle and the Leopard with a gold one.

This cosmic-themed photo was shot by my friend, photographer Minaco. ”Wish Upon a Star” and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from DiCesare Designs. All the best to you and yours!
Last month’s Vogue Japan featured a DiCesare Designs Pumpkin umbrella in a very elegant photo shoot for Bally’s 160th anniversary! In this wonderful recreation of an Bally poster from 1956, the model is shown holding a yellow DiCesare Designs Rhythm Ladies’ Pumpkin umbrella. Congratulations go to Bally for such a prestigious legacy!
I don’t write about them much but I’d like to thank them now. The craftsmen we work with in Kyoto have been making DiCesare Designs umbrellas and parasols for almost 8 years now. Their techniques have been crucial in developing new items and producing a limited edition series of high quality umbrellas and parasols. Without their combination of experience, pride and creativity, this series would not have been possible. Thank you! Wait till you see the new items they have come up with to be released in the near future!
Once again I was able to visit my favorite city. Montréal. Every time I go, I find something new to love about this wonderful city. This time was no different. The food was wonderful and the people friendly. While there, Hurricane Irene rolled into town. It was quite the storm. Seeing this as an opportunity, we went out into the streets of old Montréal to do a photo shoot with the Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrellas! The weather conditions were extreme but we got some beautiful shots. The Rhythm Pumpkin Umbella withstood the Hurricane force winds beautifully as well. Elegance under pressure.
The Pumpkin Parasol and Parashell parasol made an appearance on the Marilyn Denis show! The show was about staying toxic free in the outdoors this summer. Donna Bishop enjoyed posing with the Pumpkin Parasol while Marilyn called it the “next big thing”!
I would like to thank all my customers for their patronage this year. It was a tough year in so many ways but I met so many nice people at all the events! I was lucky enough to see a customer of mine on the streets of Ginza this summer carrying the Rhythm 2 tone Pumpkin umbrella in Lavender and Dark Purple. Stylish and cute to say the least!
