our ethos
Channelling the nostalgic pull of summers gone by, our process begins by getting messy with paints, pastels, and pencils.
Each collection evolves from the collaborative original artworks of founders and friends, Emma and Isabel. The pair work side by side, often on the same canvas — a duality carried through to the name.
At the centre of Soleil Soleil is the pareo — our signature piece — the fullest expression of each artwork, and the most natural embodiment of the brand's ethos: intuitive, adaptable, and unhurried.
Instructed by what we want to wear ourselves, over swim, on holiday, Soleil Soleil is a way of dressing where a few pieces are worn again and again, each time anew.
OUR STORY
Emma and Isabel met while working at a Sydney-based textile studio, where they created print designs for some of the biggest names in Australian and international fashion. The pair quickly bonded over a shared love of vintage textiles, slow and conscious fashion and lunch breaks spent at the beach. They sought to create a sustainable and nostalgic range of textiles that celebrates and complements good times in the sunshine. Soleil Soleil was born.

We want to be part of the movement that bridges the gap between our two passions—beautiful design, and taking care of our planet. This is what we want to put out into the world. For ourselves, for the environment and for lovers of design who care about their impact.
Love Emma and Isabel xx
