Soi Paris, a brand which puts forth quirky prints and beautiful fabrics, was created by two sisters, Julia & Aurélie. One of them, on the creative side, draws the prints while the other, on the business side, deals with the development of the brand.
We worked with the brand alongside every step of the physical launch, from the first pop-up store to the creation of their first permanent store. According to various experiences, the concept, the journey and the interactions have evolved on every channel.

« We worked a lot with Nestore until we opened our first store. Among all the pop-ups we did, the store located at 36 rue Etienne Marcel was the very best location in Paris! »
Aurélie Boutboul, co-founder of Soi Paris
In April 2016, Julia and Aurélie created Soi Paris, a ready-to-wear brand for women. Soi Paris, it is colourful clothes, with patterns and woven into beautiful fabrics. Every piece tells a story: all the prints are hand-made, by drawing, by painting or by making assortments using pictures. The label uses fabrics exclusively made of natural textiles and, obviously, silk is among their best practices.
Soi Paris had several pop up stores at first, which allowed the brand to test and learn from its first physical experiences. The first pop up store was created based on the choice of the location according to the target, then, the second one based on the integration of tools to measure performance, so that they could have first lessons concerning the customer journey. Today, the brand owns two permanent locations: rue vieille du Temple (3rd arrondissement) and rue de Sèvres (6th arrondissement).
