The Umbrella Shop is a third generation business located in one of North America's rainiest cities, Vancouver, BC. We have been located in the heart of the downtown business core since 1935. The factory settled into its new home at 1106 West Broadway in 2001. Since then we have opened two other retail stores in the Metro Vancouver area. The shop is exuberantly different from London's famous umbrella shops with their rows of staid black bumbershoots hanging from the ceiling like bats. Racks of floral chintz umbrellas, frilly parasols, men's tie prints, and one-of-a-kind hand painted cottons make the shop a colourful feast for the eyes and promise to brighten any rainy day. The company's founder, Isadore Flader, began in Toronto in the 1920's collecting umbrellas for repair. Originally, he travelled by foot door-to-door doing the repairs on the front stoops of homes. Later, after his customers got to know him, he was able to take the umbrellas home to fix and return within a few days time. Isadore and Ida's three sons ran the business for many years. Today the business is run by Charles' son Glen and daughter Corry. The factory, located above the Broadway location, still makes up to 15% of the company's product today and is believed to be the last in North America. All of the sewing and the assembly are done using old Singer sewing machines that Isadore purchased in the 1950's. Frames are assembled from various parts, while covers are cut and sewn from bolts of water-repellent nylons, cottons, and various cotton blends. The small factory can produce up to eighty rain umbrellas or a dozen patio umbrellas per day.
