Garden parasols made from vintage fabric in a 12th century grain store in Cornwall
Sunbeam Jackie was founded by artist couple Charlie and Katy Napier who operate from their studio, a 12th century grain store in Cornwall. The very first limited edition run of parasols, made in 2011 for Glastonbury's artist warm-up area, were spotted simultaneously by Mark Homewood the buyer for Designers Guild, and Josie de Bank the creative director of the music festival Bestival. Since then they've quietly made a name for themselves as one of the most exclusive luxury parasol and canopy makers around. Come with us on a tour of the Cornwall studio of these purveyors of wonderfully decorative handmade parasols.
