About Filasophie
The design & craft atelier was founded by fashion designer and „creative huntress“ Sophie Boutel in 2013.
“Our Common Thread Is GREEN.”
„Filasophie“ is a play on French words, translated literally „thread of Sophie“ and is in transferred sense the central theme of the company: the philosophy of the label originally was everything related to sewing, threading or spinning and finally was narrowed down to the magical art of creating spun cotton ornaments.
Over the years, the knowledge of several manufacturing techniques but also historical illustration and pattern design have been increased and finally gives each project that „magical touch“…

Meet the Designer
Sophie Boutel grew up at the foot of the Black Forest - a region near Alsace and Switzerland, which holds a rich heritage of the former textile and wallpaper industry.
“DRAWING & CREATING HAVE BEEN ALWAYS PART OF MY LIFE.”
After studies in Fashion Design and working several years as a designer and product manager, Sophie decided to dedicate herself to her true passion: exploring antique crafts and illustration.
This laid the foundation of her label „Filasophie“ in 2013 where the first collections including heirloom spun cotton ornaments and hand sewn figurines were born, followed by unique illustrations which can be found on greeting cards and gifts.
„BORROWED FROM NATURE”
Her inspiration for surface pattern designs and illustrations come from a combination of current trends, historical art and the beauty of nature -particularly taken reference from antique hunting illustrations and 18th century floral wallpaper patterns.
Filasophie has been featured in „Prims“ magazine as well as in „Period Living“ and was sold online but also in a fine selection of shops in Germany, the UK, Australia, the US and Switzerland.
With many years of fashion design education but also exploring the inspiring world of illustration & all sorts of vintage crafts, Sophie could built a deep understanding and understands what you or your customers feel and need.
YOUR PROJECT IS A MATTER TRULY DEAR TO MY HEART“
