Summer is the season of light, shared moments, and long days spent outdoors. But behind the pleasant warmth of the sun hides an invisible yet very real risk: UV rays. Present from the first hours of the day and even in overcast weather, they attack the skin without warning. For those who want to combine protection and style, two accessories stand out for their effectiveness as well as their style: the anti-UV umbrella and the anti-UV ombrelle . And in a world where high standards meet elegance, Parapluies de Cherbourg stands out as a benchmark.
UV rays ( UVA or UVB) represent a silent threat to the skin. The former accelerate skin aging, while the latter cause burns and increase the risk of cancer. Contrary to popular belief, they don't only affect vacationers lying on the beach. In the city, in the countryside, or even during lunch on a terrace, exposure is continuous and insidious. This is why protection cannot be left to chance. Creams, technical clothing, and headwear constitute a first line of defense. But the shade created by a carefully designed shade cloth remains one of the simplest, most effective, and above all, most refined gestures.
Far from being a utilitarian object that you only take out in case of a downpour, the anti-UV umbrella is today a true companion for everyday summer life. It protects, of course, but it also asserts a position: that of a taste for the beautiful, the useful, and the well-designed. In the Parapluies de Cherbourg workshop, several iconic models have been specially redesigned to meet this challenge. Their technical canvas, with a UPF 50+ treatment , blocks ultraviolet rays while preserving the lightness and flexibility of the gesture. Slender and refined, they slip as easily into the arms of a bride as into the heart of a city silhouette. They accompany travel, breaks on terraces, and afternoons of strolling. The comfort they provide is immediate: tangible freshness, protective shade, and real relief.
A certain idea of grace persists in the gesture of carrying an ombrelle . We think of summer gardens, the elegance of another time, feminine silhouettes that are both free and sophisticated. Today, the L' Ombrelle anti UV is given a new lease of life thanks to innovative materials and careful finishing. At Le Parapluie de Cherbourg , this dedicated piece combines high technology and assured aesthetics. This model benefits from a protective fabric with a UPF 50+ index, guaranteeing an effective barrier against the sun's rays. Available in luminous shades (Opal, Turquoise, Sand, Rock or even Lemon, Summer Night, etc.), our ombrelle are accessories in their own right. Light and handy, L' ombrelle is carried lightly , high and graceful to create a delicate shadow on the face. Its advantage: it does not alter makeup or hairstyle, and is an accomplice in every moment. It accompanies ceremonies, outdoor lunches, and summer afternoon escapades. Always with that discreet poetry that transforms a simple precaution into a signature style.
The choice between an umbrella and ombrelle depends above all on your lifestyle, your style and your sensitivity. An anti-UV umbrella can offer you a larger protective surface with diameters exceeding 100 cm. They are often popular for urban use, a sustained pace and a strong silhouette. At Le Parapluie de Cherbourg , the anti-UV Ombrelle seduces with its timeless charm, its lightness, its evocative power. In any case, a well-designed accessory makes all the difference. It is not simply a question of filtering UV rays, but of doing it with care, with rigor. The varnished handles, the finishes and the quality of the frames contribute to this attention paid to the object, its role and its longevity.
Fighting UV rays is also a form of kindness for yourself, your skin, and your future. Preserving your complexion's radiance, delaying the effects of time, avoiding discomfort or redness... so many immediate benefits offered by a simple gesture, provided you choose it well. A well-designed anti-UV umbrella or ombrelle fulfills this role perfectly. And because it integrates discreetly into your daily life, it becomes a reflex and a natural, almost instinctive elegance.
In the Le Parapluie de Cherbourgworkshop, each piece is designed to last. Far from being ephemeral accessories, the models cross the seasons, the years and often the generations. An umbrella or ombrelle of this make is not a simple purchase: it is a companion object, faithful, that we find with pleasure each time the good weather returns. It is also, often, a memory. That of a particularly bright summer. Of a wedding under the blue sky. Of a walk for two. So many moments that it accompanies without stealing them, but by adding a touch of comfort and allure.
