All Silk threads and derivative goods



Our clientele is composed of the great parisian fashion designers (Hermès, Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent, Balmain, Nina Ricci, Scherrer...), ready-made clothing (Electre, George Rech, Kenzo...) but it also includes laboratories, industrial firms, distribution boutiques and even departments of the french governement (Army, Beaux-Arts, Education...).

Our export experience (About 50% of our revenue: USA, Africa, Common Market, Australia, Japan, Russia...) enables us to affirm our desire to collaborate with our friends abroad in a climate of mutual respect and in our common interests.

We resolutely place ourselves in the top range with sufficient production flexibility to be able to work in small batches. Thus, we proudly assert that, on request, we can produce over 550 colours in minimum quantities of 5 pounds per colour, if necessary.

Our "genius" lies both in our policy of never refusing anything under pretext of production necessities and in our ability to create products that enable our customers to distinguish themselves.

Our list of product is never static. At "AU VER A SOIE" we pride ourselves on being closer to craftsmen than to industry in the way we conceive our products. So, we keep our eyes open to study any new ideas and suggestions from our customers.
