The softness of nacre, between feeds.
A natural protection, handmade in France, designed to support mothers with more comfort — no pressure, at your own pace.
The craft

Nothing processed — simply nacre, in its raw beauty.
Hand-polished
Edges carefully rounded, for the gentlest contact.
French atelier
Artisanal production, in small batches — never mass-made.
Why nacre
A simple gesture, deeply gentle
Soothes
A soft barrier that helps protect sensitive nipples between feeds.
Breathes
Skin stays in contact with a cool, natural material.
Supports
A very simple ritual, day after day, at your pace.
Lasts
Reusable and durable — a zero-waste alternative.
Portrait of the founder
“I watch over the quality of each nacre with care, as if I were looking after a friend’s baby.”
A Beaux-Arts student in Paris, Renata was always drawn to precious objects linked to women’s bodies. When a Danish friend told her of a dormant Scandinavian tradition — shells worn to protect the skin — something resonated.
In 2006, at the birth of her first child, she tried them herself, then prepared pairs for friends. Doctors and midwives encouraged her. Step by step, Bébé Nacré was born — and with it the term “nursing shells,” which she coined.
Twenty years on, she still chooses, sculpts and polishes the nacre by hand, in her atelier, in small batches. A tradition reawakened, passed on to mothers around the world.
