The Story of Mama Nacre

Dear reader, let me tell you the story of Bébé Nacre. It all began during my studies at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. I was fascinated by the way women, throughout time, used precious objects linked to their bodies.

One day, a friend told me about a Scandinavian tradition: women used shells on their breasts while breastfeeding. This idea deeply touched me. In 2006, I began searching for and crafting shells to give to my breastfeeding friends.

What are nursing shells?

Your natural ally for peaceful breastfeeding.

Nursing shells are 100% natural mother-of-pearl nipple shields. Placed inside the bra, they protect against chafing and keep breast milk in contact with the nipple. Breast milk is ideal for preventing and healing cracked nipples.
