With this capsule, we begin a new chapter: UV-protective clothing made in France, at the heart of the Alps, in Chambéry.

protect from the sun. Produce with purpose.

Responsible production, made locally and with commitment.

With La Rochelle, we set out to prove that it is possible to combine:

  • high-performance sun protection, certified UPF 50+,
  • a meaningful environmental approach,
  • and committed local manufacturing.

A UV-protective garment can be more than an essential, it can be a statement of purpose.

Made in Chambéry, in the heart of France

The La Rochelle long-sleeve UV-protective T-shirt is made in Chambéry, in an ethical and socially responsible partner workshop located near Annecy, France.

A strong choice: to celebrate French textile expertise, to support production made from deadstock fabrics, revalued and given a second life, and to restore local manufacturing to the place it truly deserves.

A closer look at La Rochelle, our French-made UV-protective T-shirt collection

This exclusive capsule includes four wardrobe essentials: two women’s T-shirts and two men’s T-shirts.

 

A production made from existing fabrics, giving resources a second life.

This capsule is based on a logic of reuse: we have chosen to use materials from dormant stocks .

These fabrics, already produced but unused, are revalued to reduce waste and curb overproduction.

Because commitment should never compromise performance, these materials have passed all our tests and meet the requirements for UPF 50+ sun protection, according to the European standard EN 13758-1.
