Descriptiontext

Sensoire designs and retails 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk bedding — including duvets, pillowcases, sleep masks, bonnets, scrunchies, travel accessories and gift sets — sold under its own brand and the L'Heure de Soie sub-brand. Underlying technology centers on a documented seven-step handmade production process using long-strand double-cocoon (doupion) silk at 19–25 momme weight, hand-layered into a glue-free fill and finished with no chemical degumming agents, with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification across the line. The company is incorporated as Sensoire Global Limited in Hong Kong, operates a Paris regional headquarters and a Belgian EU distribution/returns site, and runs a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront with multi-language and multi-currency checkout across Europe.

Sensoire makes money almost exclusively through one-time DTC e-commerce sales of silk bedding and accessories, supported by a secondary corporate and bulk gifting program with a €2,500 initial-order minimum, tiered partner pricing and customizable woven labels and packaging. Pricing is unit-based and ranges from approximately $30 for entry sleep masks up to roughly $1,526 for premium pure-silk-shell duvets, with gift sets clustered in the $85–$101 range. Customer acquisition leans on email capture (15% first-order welcome incentive), an education-driven blog (The Silk Journal), SEO-optimized category pages targeting hot sleepers, cold sleepers, menopause-related night sweats, voyagers and beauty/hair-care buyers, and an organic social presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. There is no disclosed physical retail, no third-party marketplace presence, no headcount, no institutional funding and no app distribution surface.
