The Sound of Sopele
Sopele are traditional double-reed instruments from Istria, the Croatian peninsula that meets the Adriatic Sea.
Played together as a pair, the big sopela and the small sopela, mark the moments of joy, connection and celebration.
In the spirit of their namesake, we believe skincare can carry that same emotional resonance: when it works, when it's intentional and when it's done with care, it changes how you feel in your skin.
The Marque Epithet
As our marque epithet, de Triomphe speaks to personal victory, the moment the mirror reflects progress, not frustration.
Shaped by Istrian heritage, it takes inspiration from Pula’s Roman triumphal arch, long regarded as a symbol of accomplishment.
Art that Signals Result
Each product carries a unique illustration of a woman, a figure of protection, care and life, alongside the Istrian sopele. Together they are set in a symbolic scene, reflecting how the formula is used, the ingredients within it, or the harmony of both.
A double ring frames the artwork, two circles, one bold and broad, the other slender, an homage to the larger and smaller sopele instruments played together.
In union, they shape ritual and formulations into a story of place, process and transformation.
Architectural Silhouette
Silhouettes are sculpted with debossed striations, a modern reflection of the columnar detailing on Pula’s Roman triumphal arch (the Arch of the Sergii).
The lid tilts forward to showcase the artwork and define the silhouette, a subtle nod to the time etched breaks that mark the stone of the arch.
A soft-touch finish completes each piece so the feel in hand anticipates the feel on skin.
Understanding the Master Signature
Our logo unites a Sopele wordmark with the epithet de Triomphe, composed as a signature lockup. Beside it, the emblem portrays a woman, a figure of protection, care and life, playing the Istrian sopele.
The scene rests on two lines, an homage to the larger and smaller instruments played in concert.
Together, these elements capture who we are and what we stand for, a connection between where we come from and the care we bring today.
