28 Handcrafted Parasol Ideas That Celebrate Your Empowerment
You know that feeling — when every “gift guide” starts to look the same?
Shiny, trendy, and somehow…soulless.
You’re not searching for another item to wrap. You’re searching for meaning — something that reflects brilliance, creativity, and power. Something unique, crafted with care and intention and not copied a thousand times over.
Because when you give a gift — or choose one for yourself — it’s not about the price tag or the brand name. It’s about energy. Presence. Story.
It’s about saying: I see you. I honor you. I celebrate the light you carry.
That’s why I began creating parasols.
not as accessories, but as symbols.
Each one is a work of art infused with intention.
Designed to remind its holder of their radiance, resilience, and right to be seen.
Why Parasols Make the Most Powerful Gifts
I discovered early on that the parasols I was crafting weren’t just accessories, they're declarations. Every time someone opens a parasol, they're making a statement about protection, style, and self-worth. They're saying, "I deserve beauty. I deserve protection. I deserve to take up space."
Think about it. A parasol shields you from harsh elements while elevating your entire presence. It's practical magic wrapped in artistry. When you gift someone a parasol, especially one created by a Black woman artist, you're giving them armor that looks like art.
I've watched people transform the moment they hold one of my pieces. Their posture changes. Their energy shifts. They stand a little taller, walk a little more confidently. That's the power of intentional design meeting ancestral wisdom.

Why Crown Inspired™ Represents More Than Fashion
When I created Crown Inspired™, I wasn't just starting a business: I was answering a calling. Every parasol I design carries the weight of our stories, the beauty of our resilience, and the power of our dreams. This isn't about selling accessories; it's about creating sacred objects that help Black women remember who they are.
I've poured my own healing journey into every design. Each gemstone pattern represents a lesson learned, each color choice reflects a prayer answered, each symbol honors the wisdom passed down through generations of strong women who refused to be dimmed.
How To Choose the Perfect Parasol Gift
You want to get this right, don't you? Here's what I've learned about matching parasols to personalities:
For the Spiritual Sister: Choose anything from our crystal healing or ritual collections. Look for deep purples, sacred symbols, or moon phases.
For the Heritage Honorer: Kente patterns, Adinkra symbols, or mudcloth designs will speak to her soul.
For the Celebration Queen: Go bold with gold accents, vibrant prints, or custom name scripts.
For the Wellness Warrior: Earth tones, nature patterns, or chakra alignments will align with her energy.
For the Professional Powerhouse: Elegant blacks, sophisticated silvers, or custom logo designs.
Listen to what she talks about most.
Does she mention crystals? Her grandmother's wisdom? Career goals?
Let her passions guide your choice, and you can't go wrong.
Shop, Support, Celebrate: In That Order
Here's what I want you to do: Don't just buy a parasol. Make a statement. When you choose a handcrafted piece from a Black woman artist, you're voting with your dollars for creativity, authenticity, and empowerment.
You're saying that our stories matter. That our artistry deserves support. That our dreams are worth investing in.
Visit our full collection and feel which piece calls to you: or calls to the woman you're honoring. Trust that intuition. It knows what it's doing.
Every purchase directly supports not just my business, but the broader movement of Black women claiming our space in the creative economy. We're not just making beautiful things; we're building a legacy of artistic excellence and economic empowerment.
The woman you're shopping for deserves to be crowned with intention. She deserves protection that looks like art. She deserves to walk through the world carrying a piece of magic that reminds her, every single day, just how powerful she truly is.
That's what real gifting looks like. That's what supporting Black women creators creates. That's what happens when we choose to celebrate each other with the same energy we bring to protecting ourselves.
Your next gift isn't just sitting in a shopping cart: it's waiting to become part of someone's empowerment story.
