Von Lilienfeld

The mud fields to the east, the surf to the west. Those who live on Sylt (an island, part of Germany) know and love the harsh coastal weather. The insular nature of the home of Maren von Lilienfeld, founder of the German brand for umbrellas, scarves, bags and accessories, and the stimulating climate of the North Sea constantly inspire her to create new umbrella designs. The vivid stories told by her great-grandfather, who sailed the world’s seas for decades, as well as her own extensive travels to Asia, the Americas and Africa, served again and again as a source of new ideas. Today, Maren von Lilienfeld and her husband, Sigmar von Lilienfeld, are passionate makers and seekers of unique and sophisticated umbrellas and say with all their hearts: “We love umbrellas.” Now von Lilienfelds offer probably Europe’s widest selection of decorative and luxury umbrellas, as well as bridal umbrellas and lace accessories, and cater not only to the women of Sylt, but to people all over the world.
