About brand
We proudly nurture a 100-year-old tradition and continue the family business of making umbrellas for three generations. Our story begins back in 1912. Mr Mijo Cepanec started his umbrella artisan shop in Varaždin called „Cepanec". His business grew and since Mr. Cepanec didn't have any children, he chose his nephew Gabriel Cerovečki to teach him the arts and crafts of umbrella making and to continue the business. Since they worked with high-quality materials and followed the fashion trends, the demand for their handmade umbrellas grew. In 1936 Mr. Cepanec opened another shop at 19 Ilica Street in Zagreb, where Gabrijel Cerovečki took over after finishing his apprenticeship and passing the Pre-Master and Master umbrella maker examination. A skillful master, Gabrijel Cerovečki made the umbrellas for the General Trades International Exhibition in London in 1936 that won the Grand Prix and Gold Medal award..
