    Umbrella maker Leung So Kee was founded in 1885 during the Qing dynasty’s rule in Canton, now called Guangzhou in mainland China. Almost 140 years later, the company is still going strong in Hong Kong. Its owners say its success is based on one promise - that its products will always be fixed free of charge, for life.

    A little bit of a translation error at 0:52. Instead of "It's not just the customer's lifetime, as long as the umbrella is there, we'll fix it" He actually said "the repair service is for the lifetime of the umbrella, not the lifetime of the customer".

    I never knew about this place. Now I have to go and get an umbrella. Thanks for showcasing the business. I'd like to see more like this company.

      Hong Kong is a small island and yet you lived there for 15 years but you didn't know about this 🌂☂️ shop, that means you're a person who seldom step out of your home and like to keep to yourself. 😁😆

    I have one of these umbrellas and thought I almost lost it. It will be one of the last things I ever got with my mother before she passed away in March 2024.

    Great shop and a great variety of umbrella. I attented one of their workshops which was very informative and cordial atmosphere, between longtime customer and new customer. It was fun! 😊 Even couples attented the workshop. I got mine and so happy with it. If you have time to attend the workshop, it is great to know how to make your umbrella. 😊

    I’d love to own one of this type of umbrella. However, I am a person who always lose umbrellas. With that price, name and phone number should be hand embroidered on the umbrella. 😂

      I believe you can "engrave" your name on the umbrella cause they made all of them by hand. 😂

    Assuming that the umbrellas are of the highest quality is a mistake. I would not want to make a trip to the shop every five minutes. As well, what would I do to protect my superb coiffure during the repair process?

    Here is the prove friends, you need brand new German partners in business, those who have the cycling hobby, they invented the...anti rain outfit, no need to get any umbella but...put it on, having safe coat that can face any rain water...assault. Umbrellas are ..just for cute touristic gadgets and foreign atractions, umbrellas are rather protection against solar radiations than rain...think about it friends 🎉❤🎉

    The humble umbrella.
    Invented by the Ancient Chinese.
    The caste-system, from little-D-boi's country.
    Lucky only for themselves.
    You must be born as a little-D-boi, to enjoy it.
