My entryway always had a sad cluster of umbrellas leaning in a corner, slowly sliding to the floor. I wanted something that solved the problem and actually looked intentional — not a plastic bucket. The Newbury Leather Umbrella Stand from Howat & Hutchinson (via Decoralist) caught my eye, and here’s my honest review.
The Newbury is a slim, leather-wrapped umbrella and stick stand made by British maker Howat & Hutchinson. It’s slightly slimmer than their Ledbury stand, which makes it well suited to smaller corners and tighter entryways. Beyond umbrellas, it’s great for storing walking or shooting sticks — and it’ll happily take hockey sticks or the odd golf club too. It measures 66cm high by 18cm wide and 18cm deep.
Because it’s slimmer than the larger Ledbury, the Newbury fits neatly into smaller corners where a bulky stand would feel cramped.
It’s purpose-made for walking and shooting sticks, so it’s a natural fit for homes with a country lifestyle — though it works just as well for everyday umbrellas.
If you want hallway storage that looks like a considered piece of decor rather than a utilitarian bin, the leather construction delivers that classic, upscale look.
At a slim 18cm square, it’s designed for a modest number of sticks and umbrellas, not a hotel-lobby quantity. For high volume, a wider stand suits better.
This is a premium leather piece from a specialist maker, so it sits above the price of a basic metal or plastic stand. If budget is the priority, it may be more than you want to spend.
The Newbury’s slimmer footprint compared to the Ledbury is its defining trait — an 18cm x 18cm base that tucks into corners and tight hallways without dominating the space.
It’s wrapped in leather for a refined, classic look and feel that elevates an entryway. It’s also available in a classic tan cowhide finish if you prefer that warmer tone.
Despite the name, it’s more than an umbrella stand — it’s ideal for walking and shooting sticks, and roomy enough for hockey sticks or a stray golf club. That versatility makes it genuinely useful.
At 66cm tall with an 18cm x 18cm base, it’s proportioned to hold full-length umbrellas and sticks upright and stable while keeping a compact footprint.
A note on the listing: when I viewed the Decoralist store it displayed pricing in Vietnamese ồng (VND), likely due to geolocation, showing about 8,518,000 VND for the Newbury. As a handmade leather piece, it’s a premium item. Currency display and pricing vary by region and promotions, so confirm the live price in your own currency on the product page before ordering.
Pros: Slim profile fits small corners and narrow hallways; refined leather construction; versatile for umbrellas, walking and shooting sticks, even golf clubs; available in classic tan cowhide; compact, stable 66 x 18 x 18cm dimensions.
Cons: Slim base means limited capacity for lots of umbrellas; premium price compared to basic metal or plastic stands; pricing displayed in VND on the listing may need conversion.
Howat & Hutchinson’s Ledbury stand holds more and suits larger halls, but it can overwhelm a small space. The Newbury trades some capacity for a slimmer footprint that fits tight corners gracefully. If you have a compact entryway, the Newbury is the smarter choice; if you need maximum capacity in a big hall, the Ledbury wins.
If you want hallway storage that’s genuinely attractive and fits a smaller space, yes. It turns a messy corner into a tidy, refined detail, and the leather finish feels like a considered piece rather than an afterthought. It’s a premium buy, so it’s best for those who value the look and quality. For a compact, stylish stand, it’s an easy recommendation.
