Specifically designed for large, commercial bulk orders, the Southerly is the perfect parasol for any company working to a strict budget. Unlike the Hurricane or Santa Ana, the Southerly range features a single extrusion frame and ribs producing a good economic option.
By using the nylon hub and runner from the Hurricane parasol, the Southerly retains its durability, strength and style. The hub and runner has built in rollers for the rope pulley system and a patented locking cleat. This clamps the rope so there is no need for the use of a pin to hold the canopy up.
Loriini Umbrella is a certificate holder of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) scheme and we endeavour to source our bamboo through FSC®-certified forests. This ensures that our bamboo is well managed, and protects local communities and natural wildlife.
All the materials used in the production of our parasols are 100% recyclable. The oil finish we use has a low VOC and the bamboo is dipped rather than sprayed. The glues we use are European and are rated well within the EU (E1 standard). Recycled materials are used for packaging where possible. All this helps keep the impact of manufacturing on the environment to a minimum. At Loriini Umbrella, we understand our social responsibilities and require our international partners to adhere to highlevels of welfare, far exceeding local labour standards.
The process of producing Loriini Umbrella parasols starts with the careful selection of the bamboo. After years of research and rigorous testing, we found Moso bamboo to be the only species suitable for outdoor use. One of the characteristics of Moso bamboo, which sets it apart from over a thousand other species, is the size of the individual fibre strands. These strands are much smaller and more tightly condensed, making them similar to the structures in fine grained hardwood like teak. We found other bamboos that had larger strands and were not so tightly condensed were more like softwoods, as the fibres/ strands would peel individually.
