Summer interview #2: Hortense and Valériane, the MIASUN duo

Hortense, Valériane, can you introduce yourself in a few words?
We are a tandem of 2 young girls with the names of flowers who wish to offer shade with elegance. We have created a compact and pretty parasol that you can take with you everywhere! Miasun is an innovative concept, a single product available in different colors including a brand new creation with the Stinson pattern from the nice fleet !

Hortense and Valerian from MIASUN

What was your last trip?
We travel around France, from Biarritz to Saint-Tropez via Paris and Annecy to participate in designer fairs and present our invention.

Do you have a secret address to reveal to us?

An insider's tip... go to Saint-Tropez in May, get up early and enjoy the port when calm still reigns.

What is the secret of a successful vacation for you?

A blazing sun, reunited friends, long afternoons on the beach, drunken evenings, preferably around the Mediterranean.

On vacation, rather idle or are you on the move?
Rather idleness, from Annecy to Provence and the magnificent Corsica coves.
Well actually, we can't stop moving :)

Rather sea or swimming pool?
Sea & Pool, everyday!
We swim all summer in Lake Annecy, which is one of the purest in Europe.
In the morning before work or for a picnic at the end of the day... We know where to go to find quiet corners.

The ideal dinner?
After a good shower to desalt or get ready :-) By the sea (Experimental Beach Club in Ibiza) or in a garden in Provence, with friends or family.
Grilled octopus with small summer vegetables.

The aperitif that smells like the holidays?
A Moorish drowned in ice cubes.


What are your summer suitcase essentials?
Dresses: in all colors, all styles: bohemian, jungle, animal, wax... we wear them all so as not to regret having forgotten some at the start of the school year.
We always bring our super cool glasses cords from Socool.
Bare feet, a fouta and a Miasun tent of course!
We always travel light.


What does the holiday smell like?
That of the maquis! Often in Corsica but it is also sometimes found in Greece, the Balearic Islands or even in the Alpilles in Provence.


What book to read this summer?
There are so many ! The Island of the Forgotten by Victoria Hislop to fly away to Crete.
A summer with Homer by Sylvain Tesson for philosophers.
The last of Dicker to devour.
Or dozens and dozens of podcasts!


Which nice fleet accessory would you go on holiday with?
We have sublimated a miasun with the Stinson motif from the nice fleet , so for us it's the Stinson buoy with its "So retro so funny" swimmers!

If you could teleport right now, where would you go?
We write these words in the TGV so we can almost say that we are teletransporting ourselves! At 300 km/h towards the factory in Annecy, where we are from, where there is our assembly plant, all the little hands that help us make this French adventure out of the ordinary. It's a great pleasure to go back to basics with a project that is developing all over the world.

Where are you going this summer?
In the summer we stay in France to be closer to our customers!
It's THE most important time of the year, the rush of orders, delivery follow-ups, exceptional requests etc... Miasun is a seasonal product that we order and use in June, July, August and we want to offer an irreproachable experience! So for us the holidays will be in September!
And in addition, we go on M6 ... it's going to rock!

Thank you girls !

Miasun and the nice fleet collaborate this summer and create the Stinson beach tent. To discover it, it's here !
