Headline: British Designer Creates The World’s Most Expensive Parasol To Mark The Start Of Summer - And It Costs £1m
Caption: A British designer has created the world’s most expensive parasol to mark the first day of summer – and it’ll cost you a jaw-dropping £1m. The stunning creation is the result of a collaboration between luxury umbrella brand Il Marchesato and renowned designer Debbie Wingham, who’s famous for her extravagant and jaw-dropping creations. The luxury summer accessory is crafted from 24-carat gold and doubles as an umbrella, giving you top-notch protection from both the sun and the rain. The exterior boasts a gorgeous ombré effect, fading from gold at the centre to a calming blue. Inside, it’s all about opulence, with a baroque-style pattern and floral brooches decked out with real diamonds and pearls – making it just as stunning when you look up at it as when you’re using it. The parasol was commissioned by an anonymous client who has a personal connection to the item. Not only did they want something that would protect their skin from the sun, but they also wanted to incorporate their grandmother’s heirloom diamonds into the design, making it a family heirloom of sorts. Wingham went all out, partnering with the world’s best artisans to create this bespoke piece, which includes four flawless 3-carat diamonds, four 2-carat blue solar-powered lab-grown diamonds, and a priceless strand of pearls passed down through the client’s family. The handle is a true showstopper – set with 100 1-carat diamonds and topped off with a 3-carat flawless diamond worth a staggering £150,000. With a total value of a whopping 1.36 million Euros (around £1 million), the parasol is officially the most expensive and luxurious one ever created. But if you’re not quite ready to break the bank, there’s good news. A more affordable version of the Sunbrella has been launched, too. It’s got 24K gold-plated hardware and crystals that shimmer just like the diamonds, with the same baroque design and ombré effect, all for just €549. It’s luxury on a budget - kind of.
