The Marisol® umbrella heals, protects, and empowers women and our planet.

 
 

The Marisol umbrella combines female attributes with ancient instruments of power and virtue, such as the shield, scepter, and orb. Strong yet supple like a woman’s body, the steel frame and flexible, high-carbon steel ribs can brave fierce winds. The pagoda-shaped canopy recalls the womb, protecting and enshrining the sacred space within. Miranda Leigh sculpted the original handle to give women the feeling of taking their bodies and lives into their own hands. Cast in vivid Lucite colors that awaken the chakras, the vulva-shaped handle captures and reflects light, inviting us to honor the great gateway of life.

Fifteen survivors of domestic violence from Nairobi, Kenya, participated in the pilot workshop.  With simple materials and no previous experience, the women drew beautiful mandalas, fostering personal healing and promoting collective well-being.  Their artwork inspired a collection of bold, colorful prints that reflect their resilience and the universal power of art as resistance and hope.

Joyaux Marisol collaborates with ethical brands around the world to create the Marisol Umbrella™ and other instruments of power and virtue. A percentage of profits is donated back to the women, creating an international circular economy that advances the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:

  • Gender equality

  • Health & well-being

  • Education

  • Poverty eradication

  • Environmental sustainability

Lifetime limited warranty. With proper care, the Marisol umbrella will remain a treasured heirloom for future generations. Full repair service and custom engraving available.
