Audrey Soie is a young and rapidly developing French brand specializing in high quality accessories and garments made of natural materials. Despite being relatively new on the market, the brand has already got a huge fan base amongst the French and Swiss, and is renowned for using original color palettes and rich patterns suitable for all occasions.
At the heart of the Audrey Soie Haute Couture collection is an exquisite line of silk scarves. Founder, Audrey Soie, paints her designs by hand and then prints them on high quality silk using sophisticated serigraphy technology. Each scarf from her collection is a unique piece of art. Audrey uses 100% pure silk satin which makes her scarves softer and smoother then twill scarves, which you will often find for sale in the shops around here.

The silk scarf collection: neutral, classics and multicolor
Audrey’s collection of silk scarves can be divided into three main categories: neutral colors, classics and multicolor choices . Audrey told knowitall.ch, “Neutral colors are presented in the basic Kaleidoscope line by “Neutral beige” and “Crazy butterflies” (my only twill piece). By contrast, my classic “Passion Red” and “Bipolar black” scarves are a must for all wardrobes: Passion Red is perfect for those who like to wear bright lipstick or make a unique fashion statement. “Bipolar black” has all shades of gold in it, which makes it literally a treasure of your wardrobe!”
She continued, “My multicolor scarves are many people’s favorites, however. The “Lake of flamingos” goes wonderfully with virtually all colors including blues, greens, yellows and pinks! Another piece that attracts special attention is the “Florist” scarf, which looks especially sophisticated and is reminiscent of the style of Roberto Cavalli, but more tender and feminine.”
One client told knowitall.ch, “I am the happy owner of a bunch of scarves produce by Audrey Soie. They are made of an extremely soft type of silk, pleasant to the touch and quite rare to find on the market. The vivid colors and cheerful patterns will certainly improve the mood of any one who sees them! What I like the most about these scarves are the rich palettes of their tints and shades, which enable you to wear the same piece with various outfits and even help to create new ones, bringing together pieces from your wardrobe that you could never guess would go together well! Overall I am very happy with the scarves by Audrey Soie and will surely be a returning customer!”
Audrey also has a unisex line of scarves ideal for both men and women, and which can be worn on the neck, wrapped around the wrist or simply placed in a pocket of your shirt! They give a stylish finished look for men’s outfits, indeed one male client told knowitall.ch, “I got a scarf three months ago and was very happy to have it. I like the design and the fact that it is 100% silk. The quality is also good. I have worn it in a pocket of my shirt for a special occasion and have tried a new way of wearing it on my wrist, which also looked very authentic. I hope the company will make more products for men in the future!”
Asked how she got the idea to create her own line of scarves, Audrey told knowitall.ch, “It was not created on purpose, rather I collected the puzzle from many pieces. One needs to paint well and to understand technologies of tissue treatment as well as be able to establish the production. But the main thing is patience and hard work. I have been keen on painting since childhood. However, a true discovery for me was batik - an ancient technology of fabric painting. I realized that what I want to show lies somewhere in the middle of classic batik approaches. That is how my exclusive style was born.”
She added, “Traditionally batik is divided into so-called cold and hot. Сold batik is similar to the classicism of post-medieval European arts and is dominated by precise contours, which are filled by colors like stained glass. Hot batik is much more spontaneous, emotional and tempestuous. In my designs, I have tried to find an equilibrium both in the techniques and emotions. I strongly believe that paintings are done by the heart of the artist, not by a brush!
