thesign was established in 1998 in Switzerland by Patrick Stieger with the aim of creating a designer collection of luxury high end products with exceptional design, colours and quality.
“The thesign collection very much reflects my style and taste in every sense. I see our fabrics as having a soft masculine warp with a bold feminine weft. Designed to be memorable, the collections are very contemporary, very modern and stylish with real signature pieces.” - Patrick Stieger
As both CEO and lead designer, Patrick Stieger is the engine and the fuel behind thesign. A native of Switzerland, Patrick combines the best of European traditions with American innovation. He fell in love with textiles at a young age, inspired by his father, company founder Engelbert Stieger. His father also instilled in Patrick’s a deep commitment to excellence, and pride in the Stieger Company name.
thesign collections reflect Patrick’s style and taste in every sense – classic, strong, elegant, edgy, with an eye to history, and elements of mystery, surprise and illusion. A former race car driver, Patrick brings edge, intensity, and a passion for life into all aspects of his work. As his passion project, thesign represents “his finest work to date, both as an artist and designer”.
