What is AUDRA?

AUDRA is clothing the dynamic woman in effortless beauty for all the roles she plays in life. AUDRA is a globally validated womenswear brand established by Paris-trained Audra Danielle Noyes. Fueled by the memory of her father, Noyes draws inspiration from men’s tailored clothing and infuses in her own feminine voice, a conversation between a father and daughter. AUDRA provides luxury clothing that is modest, playful, and alluring at an accessible designer price point; easy to wear by a wide range of ages and sizes. AUDRA’s product targets the designer luxury market, retailing $450-$1600.00. AUDRA is currently sold in over 15 luxury boutiques in North America and has built a robust D2C business through the brand’s e-commerce site, private clients, trunk shows, and made to order. Further validation includes continual increase of new customers, repeat customer, and press recognition.
