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 dress
Sila calls for a different fabric. A caftan dress is worn close to the body without ever constraining it. Its drape must be continuous, from collar to hem, with no point of resistance.
Modal brings lightness and a softness close to cotton, with a fluidity cotton does not have. Natural silk adds the drape, a quiet sheen, and that sensation of coolness against the skin that synthetic fibres cannot replicate.
The modal-silk combination is reserved for pieces where drape is the main subject of the cut. It is not the most durable fabric in the capsule ; it is the most refined.
Tencel, rayon : Elena tunic
Tencel is a fibre derived from wood cellulose, known for its natural freshness against the skin. This is not a marketing claim ; it is a measurable physical property: tencel absorbs moisture faster than cotton and releases it more quickly, making it particularly suited to warmer days.
Paired with rayon, it gains in drape and fluidity. Tencel alone can lack fall on longer lengths ; rayon compensates for exactly this, without adding weight.
A lightness that never burdens. In Sand Edit, this combination is found in Elena, a piece to discover directly in the shop.
Fabric as decision, not decoration
Every combination in Sand Edit responds to a precise structural or silhouette requirement. This is not a collection defined by a single fibre — it is a collection where each material was chosen for what it makes possible, piece by piece.
Choosing a fabric is already deciding how a piece will be worn. This is the reasoning that has guided Soha since the very first collection, and that will not change with the next.
