The Angels' Share Tartan Mini Umbrella — Full Tartan Canopy
AT A GLANCE
This page features The Angels’ Share® tartan umbrella in the compact Mini Auto Open style, with a full‑tartan canopy and an optional printed cover. It’s the easy “carry‑everywhere” version of the larger Angels’ Share full‑tartan umbrella.
- Mini Auto Open umbrella – push‑button opening, compact size for bag or rucksack carry.
- Full Angels’ Share® tartan canopy – the tartan printed on the bias across all eight panels, with the pivot repeated around the compact frame.
- Optional printed cover – to protect the umbrella (and the rest of your bag) when it’s stowed.
- 100% recycled waterproof fabric – canopy made from recycled plastic bottles, hand‑finished in the UK.
Choose the Mini on its own or with the protective printed cover at the bottom of this page. The price at the top will update as you change your selection.

The Angel in the Rain – Mini
The Angels’ Share® Mini Umbrella is built around the same pivot design found in the original woven cloth and full‑size companion umbrellas — reimagined in a compact form you can keep in your bag for unexpected rain.
While working with the tartan, one pivot in the woven cloth wouldn’t quite leave me alone — a quiet, balanced shape tucked inside the sett that kept drawing me back. I couldn’t fully explain it, but it felt somehow alive.
I photographed that exact pivot from the woven fabric, squared it up, and turned it into a repeatable pattern. That small piece of geometry later became the full‑tartan canopy artwork — a ring of Angels’ Share tartan built directly from the cloth, rather than a digital imitation.
This Mini carries the same concept into a more compact canopy, with the tartan running continuously around all eight panels. The thought of turning that pivot into an umbrella took hold during a spell of relentless rain here in Scotland in early 2026, when Storm Chandra moved through and the weather refused to settle. It felt right that a tartan born from whisky, oak, and evaporation could offer a simple measure of shelter — even at this smaller scale, still built around the pivot that started it all.
How the Light Moves – A Smaller Arc
On the Mini, the full‑tartan canopy appears at a more intimate scale. The Angels’ Share tartan is printed on the bias across every panel, so the lines and stripes move diagonally and shift as the umbrella turns. The smokey oak fade at the crown deepens the very top of the canopy and lifts the lighter threads below, even at this scale.
Printed on recycled canopy fabric, the gold, white, amber, wood‑brown and blue tones shift as the umbrella turns. From underneath, the light comes through softly, with a warm tint.
It’s not a “special occasion” piece — instead it’s a wee, practical umbrella for those “probably rain again” days, and it makes even a grey walk feel a bit brighter.
Choosing Your Mini
The Angels’ Share Mini Full‑Tartan umbrella comes in two simple options:
Mini Auto Open – Without Cover
A compact push‑button umbrella with the full‑tartan canopy, ready to slip into a bag, rucksack, or glove box. Best if you like to travel light and don’t mind it going back in the bag once it’s dry.
Mini Auto Open – With Printed Cover
The same umbrella, with a fitted printed cover. Handy if you’re often packing it away damp alongside books, tech, or anything you’d rather keep dry.
Both options use the same recycled canopy fabric, the same full‑tartan layout, and the same light maple‑effect handle.

The Tartan Behind the Canopy
The Angels’ Share® Tartan was woven as a 16oz Strome‑weight cloth to honour Scotland’s national drink and the quiet loss of spirit during maturation. Within the weave, subtle, almost ethereal shapes began to appear – the “angels in the weave” revealing themselves only once the fabric came to life on the loom.
The Mini Full‑Tartan canopy is built directly from that same artwork, taken from the original woven pivot rather than a digital imitation. It’s a smaller way to carry the story – lifted from the kilt and the studio and tucked into a bag, ready for the next passing shower.
Designed in Scotland and handmade in the UK, The Angels’ Share® Mini Full‑Tartan Umbrella keeps the same spirit alive – honest, useful, and made to last. 😇
