Gilley is the first umbrella designed for wet weather-and everything that comes after.
No more wet bags and damp car seats or juggling soaked umbrellas on the morning commute.
Reinforced fibreglass and aluminium alloy frame. Light, strong and built to weather the storm.
Verified in a wind-tunnel test at an indoor skydiving facility.
Yes, it was as fun as it sounds.
You're going to love it. But if it's not a match we offer a 100-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
We set out to make the best possible umbrella. And we’re yet to find one that compares.

1 billion umbrellas end up in landfill each year. We’re putting an end to this by focusing on sustainability through durability - producing something once that will last for years - opting for high-quality, durable materials like an infinitely recyclable protective stainless steel case.
One Gilley saves 5kg of umbrella material waste.
To further maximise our impact, we’ve introduced an in-house Gilley recycling scheme, are certified carbon neutral and are in the process of becoming a B-Corp.
Gilley was dreamt up, designed and tested in London.
After too many rainy commutes across the city with soaked clothes, soggy bags, and flimsy umbrellas that gave in the moment the wind picked up, I learned first-hand why 1 billion are discarded each year.
From pub sketches to late nights in the studio, I've poured everything into building an umbrella that finally keeps up with modern life.
100-Day Guarantee
We hope you love your Gilley, but if you don't we'll offer a 100-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
Our 100-day money-back guarantee is for umbrella purchases made through our website only, starting from the date of order. Please note that to be eligible for a refund your item must not have physical damage to it caused by improper use.
2 Year Manufacturer Warranty
Your Gilley umbrella has a 2-year guarantee
commencing from the date of purchase. Our guarantee will cover free of charge any product faults, defects, and irregularities. It does not include damage due to improper use.
This guarantee does not affect your rights under statutory law.
There is an option to attach the watertight case onto the base of the umbrella for a longer, ergonomic handle. This gives you a convenient use of the watertight case, so you don't have to store it somewhere while using your umbrella in the rain.
Yes! We've slimmed it down and also wrapped it in a silicone for an ergonomic grip in all weather conditions. Hold the handle a bit loosely with your thumb facing up for a really comfortable experience.
There's a hydrophobic coating on the canopy, meaning most of the water slides off before you store it away & a microfibre cap on top of the canopy to soak up any excess moisture.
However, like anything that gets damp, we do recommend airing a damp umbrella when convenient. Preferably within 24 hours of use.
Right now it's black, but we'll be expanding the colour range as we grow. Give us a shout at hello@gilley.uk with any suggestions!
1 billion umbrellas end up in landfill each year.
Our focus has been sustainability through durability - produce something once that will last for years. We've opted for high-quality, durable materials like an infinitely recyclable stainless steel protective case over plastic to achieve this longevity. One Gilley saves 5kg of umbrella material waste. Since the packaging is short lived, it is biodegradable.
It's hard for individuals to recycle umbrellas because they would have to separate all of the materials, which in practice rarely every happens. So, most umbrellas break or are lost and then end up in the landfill.
We have an in-house recycling programme, are certified carbon neutral and are in the process of becoming a b-corp.
We're constantly expanding the number of countries we ship to and are able to offer free delivery to many of those.
If we don't currently deliver to your country, please give us a shout at hello@gilley.uk and let's make it happen.
Yes, we've worked with companies of all sizes. Please check out our co-branding page for more info.
That's awesome, we'd love to hear from you. Drop us a note at hello@gilley.uk and let's speak.
That was our v1 Gilley, which we've refined and improved since we filmed Dragons' Den. The version you see on our website is slimmer, sleeker, easier to use and more sustainable.
We'd love to hear from you, please drop us a note at hello@gilley.uk and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
