SILK SCARVES AND ACCESSORIESHANDCRAFTED IN FRANCE
history of the "Les Soies vial" brand
A FRENCH SCARF MANUFACTURER
A workshop in France, in Provence
The company was founded in 1990 by Daniel Vial in Rozier-en-Donzy, a small village located an hour from Lyon, known for its weaving industry.
In 2019, Pascale opened a second art studio in Pernes-les-Fontaines, very close to L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Avignon. This studio is now the company’s headquarters.
Pernes-les-Fontaines is home to about twenty artisans. Pascale works on design, patterns, and silk painting in her studio.
She remains in close contact with her partners in Lyon (printers, dressmakers, weavers, etc.).

A Family story of scarves , silk and textile design
The silk painting workshop was founded in the Lyon area in 1990.
Daniel, a self-taught painter, met Monique, the daughter and great-granddaughter of weavers. They settled in Rozier, a weaving town.
For Daniel Vial, it seemed logical to combine his passion for painting with his passion for silk. So they opened a silk painting studio.
Initially, the work consisted of responding to the demands of fashion houses by creating specific models requested by their stylists. This gave them the opportunity to work for such prestigious names as Hermès, Madeleine Vionnet and Malhia Kent.
In the 2000s, their work evolved and they created their own finished products: silk scarves.
An artistic career before entering the silk industry.
Trained in various artistic techniques—particularly drawing—at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nîmes and the École de Dessin Emile Cohl in Lyon, Pascale was introduced by her father, Daniel, to hand-painting, as well as to the exploration of textile patterns, colors, trends, and more...
She began working at the family business in 2014.
In 2019, she opened a second workshop, which became the company’s new headquarters in 2025.
In fact, in 2025 she officially took over the family business.
The “DANIEL VIAL” brand will become “LES SOIES VIAL” in 2025
RAftmanship and contemporary technology
The rare craft of silk painting
The technique of painting on silk is now a professional practice that has become rarer.
From a technical point of view, we paint directly on the silk. We create our own colours using powdered pigments, which gives us total control over colourimetry.
Printed scarves based on original design
Today, our expertise is evolving. We are delighted to embrace new, contemporary techniques.
We also produce digitally printed models.
We create our designs on paper, using inks, pencils, collage and other techniques.
These designs are then digitised and reworked on a graphics palette. We then modify the colours of our model using a colour chart calibrated on the printing machine, so that the colours match our wishes.
Our designs are then printed in small runs by a neighbouring company in the Lyon region.
Colouful fashion accessories inspired by Art and Nature
Nature, painting, illustration, comics, cinema and children's literature are all part of the driving force behind their creations and the inspiration behind their designs.
