Testimony : Mast cell activation syndrome

Read Émilie's story, for whom the heat and UV have become unbearable.

Hello, I discovered your clothes in 2022, following a mast cell activation syndrome (post COVID vaccines). I can't stand the heat any more, suffer from pseudo-insolations just by dropping the garbage bag in the container in summer, manage to burn despite applying sunscreen.

I started with stoles and hats, then Nuvées jackets and gloves. The stoles are great for going out in a gale, and I always have one in the car just in case. As for Nuvées fabric, it's brilliant. I have two jackets and a pair of gloves. There's a basic temperature difference: when you wear it, it's cool. I can't stand heat above 24/25°, even in the car, so I use it. When the fabric is wet, the sensation of freshness is heightened. With the air-conditioning on (or if it's windy), you also feel this increased coolness. On a daily basis, it's very pleasant.

Jackets are all-purpose, easy to match with any other garment. Basically, they're made to go in the water, but I haven't tested them (aquagenic urticaria). They provide excellent protection from the sun (that's what they're designed to do), and I couldn't do without them. The price may seem high, but the “investment” pays for itself very quickly. I no longer use sunscreen on my arms. As for the pants, I haven't tested them yet, but I'm thinking about it more and more often.
