Umbra has built a powerful brand over the past three decades. Our customers—an engaged community of home and design enthusiasts—regard us as the worldwide leader of original, modern, casual and functional home accessories. They expect a lot from us and from you as our partners. As a result, we look forward to working with you to deliver high, consistent brand standards, following the guidelines below:
