ABOUT US
Soreil was born from a desire to create more than lingerie, it was born from a need to express something intimate, powerful, and true. We believe that beauty is not decoration, but declaration. That sensuality has nothing to do with exposure, and everything to do with intention. That structure can hold softness, and softness can hold strength.
Since 2015, we have crafted garments that speak in contrasts: romantic but grounded, delicate yet defined. We approach lingerie as both design and dialogue. Between fabric and skin, between story and silhouette. Each piece is an artifact of emotion, precision, and self-expression.
We are moved by disciplines that fill the world with beauty and meaning: art, fashion history, and a broader artistic landscape. Our work is a creative expression of all things aesthetic: a response to the visual languages that shape how we understand beauty.We are fascinated by the history of dress, by how garments have shaped not only the body, but also identity, resistance, and voice. Even our most sensual pieces carry a sense of melancholy, because history is always present. Corsets, garters, slips; these are not just garments, but relics of feminine rebellion and self-definition.They remind us that lingerie has always been more than intimate, it has been political, poetic, and personal.
Our products are handmade in Colombia in our workshop in the city of Bogota where we create the collections from its concept to the materialization of our products where a small team of talented and committed women are responsible for making each one of the garments that combine exquisite design and craftsmanship.
WHERE DOES THE NAME "SOREIL" COMES FROM?
The name Soreil is drawn from a woman who redefined power and beauty in the French court: Agnès Sorel. Known as the Dame de Beauté, she was the first officially recognized royal mistress of King Charles VII.
Yet her role extended far beyond the private sphere. She was a muse to poets, painters, and playwrights; immortalized by Jean Fouquet in a now-iconic portrait where she appears as the Virgin Mary, bare-breasted and crowned in pearls. Voltaire would later write poems about her, and her legend inspired operas and theatre across Europe.But Agnès was not only a muse: she was a force. She captivated the court with her intelligence, her influence, and her unapologetic sense of style. At a time when most women were denied access to education, she used her proximity to power to learn to read, becoming one of the few literate women of her time. Her knowledge deepened her influence, not just in the private chambers of the king, but in matters of culture, patronage, and public taste.
Agnès was a trendsetter long before the word existed: her bold, sensual style challenged royal convention and gave rise to a new silhouette.A boldly open neckline that became so emblematic that a corset style was named after her: the Agnes Sorel corsage. At a time when fashion served to conceal, she used it to declare. She dressed not to follow but to command, outshining even the queen herself and setting a new standard for feminine elegance and audacity.
