Fabric first
Before colour, before cut, there is fabric. It determines how a piece is worn throughout the day, how it falls on the body in motion, how it ages over time.
At Soha, the choice of a material never depends on a trend. It always comes back to the same question: what does this silhouette actually require? A draped cut does not call for the same hand as a structured piece. A dress designed to follow the body does not call for the same drape as wide-leg trousers. This standard runs through every collection.
Linen is a reference fibre for the warmer months: it breathes, regulates temperature, holds up with wear. But pure linen has a firm character and a dry drape. On a silhouette designed for movement, that character works against the piece. This is why Soha consistently blends linen on its fluid pieces — with viscose and rayon — to give it the fall and softness it cannot offer on its own.
Sand Edit is built around three precise fabric combinations: linen-viscose-rayon, modal-natural silk, and tencel-rayon. Each one has a reason to be.
Linen, viscose, rayon
The linen-viscose-rayon blend is the central combination of Sand Edit. It runs through Dune, Yay set and Délya dress : three different silhouettes that share the same need: a fabric that moves without resistance.
Linen provides structure without stiffness. Viscose lengthens the drape. Rayon adds a touch close to silk : a lightness that is perceptible the moment you pick up the piece.
At the last pop-up, the linen-viscose-rayon pieces drew the most attention from passers-by. Several reached out to touch the fabric before even looking at the cut. It is not a visual effect. The material speaks first.
MODAL · NATURAL SILK
Sila calls for a fabric of its own. A caftan dress should follow the body without ever restricting it. Its drape must flow seamlessly, from the collar to the hem, without resistance.
Modal brings a softness close to cotton, with a fluidity cotton cannot achieve. Natural silk adds graceful drape, a subtle sheen, and a cool feel against the skin that synthetic fibres simply cannot replicate.
This blend is reserved for pieces where movement is the essence of the silhouette. It is not the most durable fabric in the capsule, but it is the most refined. It follows every movement effortlessly, without adding weight.
Within Sand Edit, this blend comes to life in Sila: a piece created for those who value the feeling of a fabric as much as its appearance. Here, the fabric doesn't complement the silhouette, it defines it.
