History
Established in 2000.
Bella Umbrella started by renting out vintage umbrellas dating from the 1900’s — 1960’s for weddings, events and photo shoots. The demand for the pagoda shape was so high that we looked for a current day manufacturer to fill the demand. No company was manufacturing this very particular rib design.
We decided to create our own design of the pagoda and our first run was manufactured in 2005. As avid umbrella collectors and enthusiasts, we chose to offer a new Bella Umbrella Signature Pagoda limited-run color every year. The best part is that each Signature Pagoda handle can unscrew from the canopy and is interchangeable with previous and future Bella Umbrella Signature Pagoda handles and canopies.
Meet the Business Owner
Jodell E.
Business Owner
As a long-time student and collector of umbrellas, Seattle’s Jodell Egbert’s vintage collections were the nucleus around which she began Bella Umbrella. Her venture is now the largest source of vintage and Designer umbrellas in the world.
As a soon to be bride and floral designer in 1999, Jodell wanted to do something distinctive instead of renting a traditional white tent for her outdoor wedding ceremony. She procured 75 vintage umbrellas for her guests in the event there were showers on her wedding day. Each guest would be offered a beautiful umbrella from the 1920s-1940. Later, the umbrellas would create a brilliant backdrop to the happy day. It was the beginning of a beautiful marriage in more ways than one.
