About SOEUR

SOEUR was founded in Paris in 2008 by two sisters, Domitille and Angélique Brion — Domitille as creative director, Angélique leading the business. What started as a single store on rue Bonaparte has grown into one of France's most beloved ready-to-wear brands: a timeless Parisian wardrobe designed for women of all generations, built on beautiful materials, effortless silhouettes, and clothes made to last.
