A 55cm all-weather umbrella created by Awasa in collaboration with Tokyo-based Be Prepared. Wind-resistant, heat-shielding and water-repellent, it offers UPF50+, 99.99–100% light blocking and 99.99% UV protection, with a shoulder strap for easy carrying.
AWASA is a Tokyo-based label inspired by the idea of “in-between.” Its name, drawn from a Fukui dialect word meaning “between,” reflects a quiet balance — between formal and casual, classic and modern, work and life. Each piece is crafted with refined materials and thoughtful proportions, expressing subtle comfort rather than overt design. AWASA creates clothing that moves naturally with life — understated, honest, and beautifully balanced.
