Sunbeam Jackie was founded by artist couple Charlie and Katy Napier who operate from their studio, a 12th century grain store in Cornwall. The couples’ combined artistic backgrounds made for a natural progression into specialist product design with a focus on the sculptural and aesthetic strength which you find in their parasols and canopies. Sunbeam Jackie consistently aim for first-class workmanship and design integrity.
The very first limited edition run of parasols made in 2011 were spotted simultaneously by Mark Homewood the buyer for Designers Guild, and by Josie da Bank the creative director of Bestival Ltd. Having grown from making one-off parasols on a bespoke basis into the business and brand which you see here today, Sunbeam Jackie have been quietly making a name for themselves as the most exclusive luxury parasol and canopy makers around.
