On the occasion of Mother’s Day this Sunday, June 7 in France, Méduse wants to celebrate this very special day by highlighting the diversity of mothers in the community.
Therefore we would like to show a portrait of 6 remarkable Méduse mothers.
Marie, Alexandra, Sujin Bae, Odette, Yuko and Cecilia tells us about their motherhood experience.
This young mom of 28 was very touched when we’ve approached her and tells us with excitement about her daughter Emma of 20 months. Emma, just like her mom, was born and is growing up in Quebec City, Canada.
What do you think characterizes a cool mom the most?
I love many aspects of being a mom, but what I find the coolest is Emma’s progress. A child grows up and adapts so fast. Sometimes I put her to bed and the next day she surprises me learning something new. I’m amazed everytime.
Another thing I love about being a mom is passing on our values to become tomorrow’s citizen. I believe that this is one of the most important task in parenting.
What’s Emma’s favorite place to wear her Méduse ?
Emma loves to wear her Méduse sandals at all times. With or without stockings when it’s hot, with her feet in the water or in the sun to tan her toes. I love the fact that the shoes can be worn in the water, sand, grass, everywhere in fact.
What is the essential accessory to make the difference?
Choosing an indispensable accessory that can make a difference is a complicated matter. I have difficulty choosing a particular item.
Every moment in a child’s life can be connected with a particular accessory. As for now, I would say that since summer is slowly coming here in Quebec, a good hat could be essential. A baby’s soft skin needs it.
Do you have an inspiring memory to share with us as a mom?
I think my most vivid memory (after giving birth) as a mom/family is our first trip we made to Cuba when Emma was just 6 months old. We had a great trip. I would love to continue traveling with my family. Camping and or traveling our beautiful world.
A little note for the moms in our community?
I wish you a beautiful and happy Mother’s Day. Let yourself be blessed. You deserve it.
Yuko is the mother of a 9-year-old girl she lives with in Japan.
What do you think characterizes a cool mom the most?
I think being a cool mom requires that you are able to love all the creatures and plants on earth and that you can reach out to those in need.
And that’s what I’m trying to do.
Where do you and your daughter prefer to wear Méduse shoes ?
There are many places where you can wear a pair of Méduse.
For example, wear them when you go to the park or library. My daughter loves to wear her Méduse when she waters the flowers in the garden.
What is the essential accessory to make a difference?
When choosing a pair of Méduse, the most important thing is to coordinate with socks and tights! #SocksAndSandals
I like to wear them barefoot, but I also like to wear them with socks and tights.
All Méduse sandals are so beautiful on its own that I choose socks and tights that are rather dull in colour but soft on the skin.
Any last words?
I also prepared some pictures ❤ Thank you.
I’m looking forward to Mother’s Day.
Our French mother, Marie, has two very different adult daughters: a brunette with brown eyes and a blonde with green-blue eyes.
What do you think characterizes a cool mom the most?
A cool mom is a mom who faces up to herself.
What is your favourite place to wear a pair of Méduse?
Méduse is the Ile de Ré (the Gates and its market), the beaches, the bike rides…
What is the essential accessory to make the difference ?
The essential accessory is a beautiful bag of a big brand. One bag makes all the difference, I have about ten of them.
Do you have an inspiring memory to share with us as mom?
Since I was little, I have always had Jellyshoes bought by my mom (called “nanny gift” by my daughters because they always brought them gifts).
I’m a mother hen, which is not always easy for my daughters!
One last little word?
Thank you for these beautiful memories.
It’s time to introduce you to our mother Sujin Bae, representative of the famous Méduse in South Korea! She shares a few snippets of her life with her two beautiful daughters.
What do you think characterizes a cool mom the most?
The coolest mom, in my opinion, is a mom who loves and cares for herself.
Where is the best place to wear her Méduse?
Isn’t the sea the best place to go to wear her Méduse? 😉
What is the essential accessory to make the difference ?
Socks of course, because no matter what colour you choose, they will always make the Méduse stand out.
Do you have an inspiring memory to share with us as a mom?
Recently, my second daughter started walking. Soon, I hope to have her wearing matching Méduse shoes with her mother and sister.
A little note for the moms in our community?
Thank you for sharing such great memories with me.
This mother, her husband and her little boy have just arrived in France one year ago and are originally from South Africa.
What do you think characterizes a cool mom the most?
A cool mom is a mom who can do what she wants while enjoying every moment with her son to make a life full of memories.
Where is the perfect place to wear her Méduse?
You can wear them anywhere! I love them because they go with all my outfits, whether to the beach, city or to go shopping.
What is the essential accessory to make the difference?
I think that the accessory that is the most essential for me is worn around my neck: a scarf, or a beautiful necklace.
Do you have an inspiring memory to share with us as a mom?
My first international flight alone with my little one because I’ve realized as a mother that I can face any situation that scares me. We are brave together.
To finish our series of portraits, we present a second Korean mother who regularly sends us news of her daughter Elodie, with Méduse around her feet. Cecilia loves the French style and her daughter proves it with her unique first name in Korea!
What do you think characterizes a cool mom the most?
For me, being a cool mom means making sure my daughter is always on the cutting edge of fashion, so that when she walks into the room there is no debate about who is the classiest child.
So, even though I’m an older mom, I’m always scanning the web to keep up with the latest trends in children’s fashion to keep my daughter on trend.
Where is Elodie’s favorite place to wear her Méduse?
Méduse are great all the time, but they’re really great on the beach. Not only do they bring that summer feeling, but the sandals themselves are easy to wash after a session of intensive play in the sand. Fashionable and practical!
What is the essential accessory to make the difference?
A bold hair ribbon that matches the striking shine of the sandal compliments my daughter’s outfit – hence the collection she has!
Do you have an inspiring memory to share with us as a mom?
As a mother, I am constantly inspired by my daughter. Nothing illustrates this better than her mastery of a small scooter in just a few days. Although it doesn’t seem very impressive, my daughter is somewhat shy and hesitant to try new things. So when she said she wanted a scooter, I was skeptical. I was sure she wouldn’t use it and that it would be a waste of money. I couldn’t believe it when I took her outside for the first time and saw her sneak out and down the hill in a matter of minutes! I’ve realized then that we are all unique, regardless of where we come from, and that the only limits are the ones we set for ourselves.
Méduse team wishes a great and lovely Mothers day to all the mothers of the community. See you soon.
