The know-how

“It’s the know-how that counts. »
- Guadeloupean proverb

Deeply convinced of the timeless elegance and originality of the silk scarf, Belle en Voilée creates an accessory that combines character and originality. Its stylistic signature is found in the work of colors and its finishes which require a perfect knowledge of silk to master the visual intensity of the colors as well as the quality of the handmade hem. For each collection, the house's designers and prototypist technicians work in close collaboration to design and think about the material of unique pieces.
The design of the designs is carried out in France, the manufacturing is entrusted to a workshop in the city of Como, in Italy specializing in the manufacture of high-end silk. The workshop has been an expert in its field for over 70 years and has already worked with many Haute-Couture brands.
 

 

 

The art of silk

The quality of the silk thread is essential to enhance the vision and creative work of artisans. It is felt from the first physical contact, its malleability, its hold and its softness are essential for an exceptional result. The finishing of each piece is done exclusively by hand, respecting the traditional Italian style. Belle en Voilée has chosen to use a thickness which allows comfort and opacity while retaining the softness of the silk fabric. This process aims to obtain a silk that is more resistant to the markers of time. (lights, scratches, stains, etc.)

 

 

Our environmental commitment

In order to guarantee compliance of practices with environmental standards, the house collaborates exclusively with an Italian workshop that complies with the rules of the internationally recognized GOTS label. Audited, the workshop obtained this certification, which notably controls compliance with the working and social conditions of employees. It guarantees that all the fibers used and components are organic and non-toxic to the environment.

 

 

Hand rolling

All of the finishes on the Belle en Voilée silk squares are made by hand, using a technique called Italian hand-rolling which allows sewing from the inside out. The seamstress rolls the edge of the piece of fabric under her fingers until she obtains a sufficiently tight roll while remaining supple and inflated, then she fixes it with an almost invisible handmade stitch .
