Soie de Lune’s handweaving workshop in Laos draws inspiration from the intricate beauty of traditional Lao woven designs, known to be among the most elaborate in the world. Our company was founded with a passionate commitment to harness and preserve these time-honored weaving skills, ensuring the continuity of this unique artistic heritage and preserving it for future generations.

The remarkable talents of our artisans can only be conserved if this woven art is self-sustaining. That means building a company based on robust business practices.

Our market of international interior designers has proved to be an excellent way to showcase the weavers’ talents and it enables us to consistently produce high-quality fabrics with a contemporary touch that meets the demands of today’s market.

The company was co-founded by CEO Daniel Marcus in 2004. On his first visit to South East Asia in 2001, Marcus was mesmerized when he first came across Lao hand weaving. Nowhere had he seen such intricate patterns and skilled weaving. What made this handwoven fabric particularly special was the use of silk, color and complex geometric brocade designs, the combination of which is unique to the region of South East Asia.

The very nature of handweaving is a sustainable and an ethical way to produce fabric. Beyond this, the incorporation of design motifs, like flowers symbolizing purity, stars representing the vast sky, or the monsoon rains that sustain us, imparts a profound meaning and purpose to our enterprise. This spiritual connection is not only crucial in today’s global context but holds particular significance in this devout Buddhist country, where traditional woven textiles continue to play a vital role.

Our designs are infused with these meaningful motifs that serve as the cornerstone of our creative process. We take pride in our pursuit of perfection by creating unique fabrics in design and color. Coupled with our meticulous selection of quality linen, cotton, silk and wool yarns, we ensure the production of outstanding handwoven fabrics. Our relentless pursuit of the highest standards sets us apart, making every piece a testament to our unwavering dedication to quality and design.
