Tokyo Noble
Colourfully customised umbrellas with more than 70 shades to choose from

Part of 2k54, a strip of small stores in the distinctive neighbourhood of Akihabara, where many contemporary artisans and local craftsmen showcase their proud products, Tokyo noble adds a new dimension to the creation of umbrellas. Here, there are 77 different colour palettes to choose from and each umbrella sold can be fully customised for every individual taste. Among the products the Vegetabrella, which looks just like a lettuce, can also be shipped abroad. Playful and truly fun, the store’s cheerful umbrellas, made with great expertise by skilled craftsmen, promise to last a lifetime.
