: Blunt Umbrellas come in different colours.

: Blunt Umbrellas latest creation for golf players benefits from the Radial Tensioning System which helps get the perfect canopy tension necessary in windy weather.

: Blunt Umbrellas’ Radial Tensioning System (RTS) helps the opening force to spread outwards all the way to the canopy edge to create superior canopy tension.

Today umbrellas, like many other products, are often manufactured in China. In 2007 that’s where New Zealanders Scott Kington – who studied marine biology at Auckland university – and Greig Brebner – a mechanical engineer – the founders of Blunt Umbrellas, took their idea for a revolutionary umbrella. In the following interview Scott Kington tells Nicely Made in China (NMiC) how he and his partner launched the company Blunt Umbrellas.

: An example of K’o-ssu made on a dress for fashion Chinese brand Ne-Tiger in mr Wang Haoran’s workshop in Nantong.

: K’o-ssu craftwoman at work in mr Wang Haoran’s workshop in Nantong.

K’o-ssu – also written kesi – or Chinese silk tapestry, is a complex traditional Chinese weaving technique which had its heyday during the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties. Today there are less than 100 people working across China in this area. Frequently used to make clothes for imperial families and to reproduce famous Chinese paintings, nowadays this little known craft faces extinction due to lack of demand. However, there are signs of renewed interest, and to learn more about this precious technique, Nicely Made in China travelled to “textile town”, Nantong in Jiangsu province, to visit a young K’o-ssu maker, Mr. Wang Haoran.
