A trustworthy argument
FARE makes no compromises in terms of quality. The benchmark here is high. The umbrellas are predominantly produced by select, long-term partners in the Far East in factories that have been audited in line with the requirements of the amfori BSCI and that hold a valid audit report.
FARE was the first retailer to provide a TÜV certification for some of its top-end models back in 2000.
Since then, many FARE umbrellas have been tested and certified by accredited testing institutes for their suitability for use, absence of pollutants, etc. Discover our certified products
