1920 SISHUN Store Our Origin

My great-grandfather was born in 1890, and his given name was SISHUN. In 1920, he opened the SISHUN Store, marking the beginning of our family’s connection to craftsmanship and trade. The store was later passed down to my grandfather, and then to my father, who continued operating it until 2007.

2006 - 2016 Former China Factory

In 2006, Simon, the current owner and fourth-generation successor, founded Topumbrella and established the first Sishun Umbrella Factory. This marked the beginning of our journey into high-quality umbrella manufacturing, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern production.

2008 Topumbrella Brand Launched

In 2008, we officially registered the global trademark Topumbrella. From that point onward, we began manufacturing umbrellas for world-famous brands, museums, retailers, and corporate partners.


2016 New China Factory Built

As the business expanded, Sishun built a larger and more advanced factory in 2016. This new facility introduced upgraded production lines, improved testing capabilities, and a stronger focus on eco-friendly materials, RPET fabrics, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
