Beau Nuage, our story
It all began in London
It all started in London in 2016, where Antoine and Aurélien, two young men from the south of France, met while studying. In a city famous for its unpredictable weather, rain quickly became an everyday problem.
One evening, on their way to a restaurant in pouring rain, they had a long conversation about just how impractical umbrellas could be. Rarely functional, always wet, cumbersome and often broken. They decided that, in the 21st century, there had to be a better way and embarked on the ambitious challenge of completely rethinking the umbrella.
Innovative umbrellas that keep you dry
They first set out to design an umbrella that was stronger and more enjoyable to use than an ordinary one. Using innovative materials, they developed a high-quality umbrella that was both durable and ergonomic. Then came the idea of solving the problem of wet umbrellas once and for all.
Making you love the rain
From the very beginning, these umbrellas were designed as fashion accessories, with refined colours and patterns created to brighten up rainy days.
Sales began in 2016 with a tour of shops across France, enabling Beau Nuage to establish partnerships with more than fifty retailers in just a few months. The concept quickly proved popular and attracted the attention of national media.
The umbrellas were soon stocked in a number of shops across France and Europe. Beau Nuage's ambition was clear: to become a leading name in umbrellas through innovative and elegant products.
Our environmental commitment
In 2020, our commitment took a major step forward when we began producing our umbrella canopies from recycled plastic bottles (rPET). Beau Nuage is committed to becoming an increasingly responsible, environmentally conscious and sustainable brand, with people and the planet at the heart of our approach.
Montagut Group
In 2022, Beau Nuage joined Montagut, an Ardèche-based group specialising in knitwear since 1880. With more than a century of family heritage and expertise in clothing, Montagut brings its unique know-how to the development of Beau Nuage's collections.

Our first clothing collection
At the end of 2023, a new adventure began for Beau Nuage. After many months of thought and development, the brand unveiled its first clothing collection, including raincoats and fleeces: stylish, technical and eco-conscious pieces designed for both women and men.

From rain to sunshine, the adventure continues
Since creating its first umbrellas, Beau Nuage has continued to imagine new ways to accompany you through every season. In 2024, La Parka joined the adventure, designed to take on the coldest days. In 2026 came La Casquette, created to accompany you all year round, in the rain and under the sun.
And what's next? It's already in the works... New surprises are coming soon!
