Most umbrellas live short lives. One gust, one bent rib, and it's in the bin by the train station.
We never wanted to make that umbrella.
At BLUNT, we work to a simple rule: repair, before replace. Every BLUNT is designed to be repaired, part by part, so if something does go wrong, you fix that one part, not the whole umbrella. Register yours in B Hub and your warranty doubles from 2 years to 4.
Here's how we design for repair, and how to
fix your BLUNT yourself.
Four parts, one umbrella
Every BLUNT is built from four parts: canopy, frame, shaft and handle. Each is engineered to be replaced on its own, so one knock never has to mean the end of your umbrella.
It starts at the edge. Our signature tips hold the canopy taut all the way out, right where most umbrellas give way. That tension is what you feel the first time you open a BLUNT, and it's also what lets the canopy be cleanly released and refitted when it needs replacing.
Below the canopy, the frame and shaft do the heavy lifting, and the handle on our latest models is finished with a precision thread, which keeps it feeling solid in your hand.
If a big gust catches you out, a BLUNT is designed to flip back the right way without damage to its structure.
How to repair your BLUNT
Most repairs are simpler than you'd think.
A loose tip, a worn end cap or a tired canopy can often be sorted at home, with no tools at all.
It all starts in B Hub. Join, register your BLUNT with your proof of purchase, then choose it from your product list and tell us what's happened. Got it as a gift, or lost the receipt? Chat to our team and we'll sort it.
From there, you can order the part and follow one of our video tutorials, or send your BLUNT to us. Often we'll simply send you the part. Either way, you can follow every step in B Hub.
Bigger jobs, like a bent frame or a damaged shaft, are for our repair team, and we'll take care of it.
Every BLUNT comes with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty, extended to 4 years when you register it in B Hub. And warranty or not, every BLUNT is repairable: Neo, Metro, Classic, Exec or Sport, wherever you bought it.
The best repair is the one you never need.
Five small habits keep your BLUNT going for years.
Open it overnight when it's new.
It stretches the mechanism so it opens smoothly every time.
Dry it fully open.
Short on space? Stand it handle up with the canopy tie released.
Keep it in its sleeve.
It guards against nicks, scuffs and sun fade.
Wipe, don't wash.
Warm water and a soft cloth. No detergents, brushes or machines.
Wipe the shaft now and then.
Dirt builds up and adds friction when you open it.
Built for the long haul
A BLUNT is an investment in never buying another cheap umbrella. Look after it, repair it when life happens, and it will keep you covered for years to come.
Is yours feeling a little less taut than the day you bought it? Chances are, it just needs a quick service.

My BLUNT flipped inside out. Is it broken? Probably not. If something feels off afterwards, check your tips first.
