Wpc. (W.P.C.), an umbrella brand operated by World Party Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sumiyoshi-ku, Osaka; Representative Director and President: Tomoo Tomita), will release one type of vinyl umbrella and two types of folding parasols as collaboration items with Calbee Co., Ltd.'s (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Shin Ehara; hereinafter "Calbee") long-selling product "Jagarico." Pre-sales will begin on April 1, 2026 (Wednesday) at the official Wpc. online shop and Wpc. directly managed stores, with general sales starting on May 1, 2026 (Friday) at other stores.

"Portable" is the keyword! What's the reason behind the Jagarico x Wpc. collaboration?

Calbee's long-selling product "Jagarico," launched in 1995 as a snack that "high school girls can carry in their bags," and Wpc., which creates lightweight and compact folding umbrellas that fit perfectly into bags. The first collaboration between Jagarico and Wpc. has been realized, with "easy portability" as the common keyword. The lineup includes one type of vinyl umbrella and two types of folding parasols, all featuring Jagarico's familiar characters, Jagao (father) and Rikako (mother) of the Jagao family. The simple-looking vinyl umbrella, 'Jagarico Wavy Umbrella,' recreates Jagarico by incorporating colorful chips into the handle and ferrule. Furthermore, the 'Light-blocking Jagarico Package Parasol Mini,' which directly transforms the Jagarico package into an umbrella, and the 'Light-blocking Jagao Family Embroidery Parasol Mini,' accented with Jagarico-style charms, are must-sees for fans. The "Salad" and "Cheese" Jagarico flavors, which everyone has tasted at least once, are stylishly and uniquely finished in Wpc.'s distinctive style. All Wpc. parasols use fabric with 100% UV cut rate, 100% light blocking rate, and UPF50+*, effectively blocking strong summer sunlight. The black polyurethane coating on the underside of the umbrella reduces light reflection and glare. As it is a sun/rain umbrella, it can also be used for sudden rain.

*Fabric with a UV cut rate of 100% as measured according to JIS L 1925 is considered 100% UV cut fabric. Fabric with a light blocking rate of 100% as measured by JIS L 1055 Method A is considered 100% light blocking fabric. UPF values of fabrics are measured according to JIS L 1925. *The results stated are measured values for the fabric state and do not indicate the performance of the umbrella body itself. This also does not apply to parts other than the UV-processed fabric, such as embroidery and stitching on the fabric.
