Rain can throw a wrench into your plans, but it can also elevate your style. The Duckling x Meri Meri combines the distinctive form of Original Duckhead with Meri Meri's illustrative imagination, giving children's umbrellas a whole new twist. This collection proves that even a simple walk in the rain can have its charm.
A meeting of two unique visions
A shared approach to everyday objects was the starting point for this collaboration. Both brands believe that functionality can go hand in hand with imagination. Meri Meri brings a world of color, shapes, and illustrations, while Original Duckhead brings the recognizable shape that has distinguished duck umbrellas for years.
The result? A collection that transforms an ordinary item into a small adventure, especially in the hands of the youngest.
Three patterns, three moods
The collection offers three prints that can brighten up even the rainiest day:
🦖 Dinosaur Kingdom - for little explorers who like the world with a bit of adventure.
⭐ Happy Icons - for those who see the sun even when it is not visible.
🌈 Rainbow Stripes - for little aesthetes who like order, but in color.
Each print combines the illustrative whimsy of Meri Meri with the solid craftsmanship of Original Duckhead – ensuring this children's umbrella will withstand many a backyard test.
