I recently purchased a Mark cross umbrella and was looking at a leather Mark Cross attache case. The Robb Report several years ago rated the Mark Cross attache case in it's top five.

Mark Cross men's goods are no longer sold in St.Louis. How good are their products ?
Is anyone aware of their umbrellas ?

I had a Mark Cross umbrella. It had a silver band at the base of the handle with the Queen Mother's royal warrant on it, because it was made by Swain Adeney Brigg.

I got it during their going-out-of-business sale at the store in Atlanta, so I paid about $30 for it. I don't know when I lost it, but I miss it terribly.

I have had my umbrella for about 25 years. the teak handle came loose. Can the handle be replaced ? I enjoy the umbrella , your description is very accurate. The handle has a silver
band , I thought the lion on the silver band was a Mark Cross crest. I reattached the handle with super glue. But would like something more permanent
Thanks.
