Material First
We shape each product around fiber and fabric, letting material guide the design.

Material,
in Motion.
We create thoughtful womenswear shaped by fiber, touch, and the way women live every day.
SCROLL TO EXPLORE
01 — Brand point of view
Design,
grounded in material.
A garment begins with its material, then comes to life through cut, wear, and time.
SOROFIB is a material-led womenswear studio. We begin with fiber research, bringing comfort, structure, and considered design together.
We created SOROFIB to reconnect textiles, design, and real life. We consider how fabrics feel, drape, recover, and wear over time—designing clothes to move with the body, beyond a single moment.
With restrained lines and attentive product development, we explore enduring pieces for the modern woman's wardrobe. Our point of view lives in proportion, texture, and detail.
Designed to Be Worn
We consider movement, touch, and everyday styling so good design feels natural in real life.
Made for the Long View
We value wearability, versatility, and longer use over the pull of fleeting trends.

02 — Fiber & textile
Understand fiber.
Rethink the way we wear.
Material is part of the product experience, not a footnote. SOROFIB studies fibers, yarns, and textile structures to understand differences in softness, recovery, drape, and durability.
Sorona® is one bio-based material platform we are exploring. Performance varies with fiber blends, fabric construction, and garment finishing. We describe material attributes carefully, based on product testing and available supplier information.

04 — People behind the work
Different disciplines,
one considered wardrobe.
Brand, materials, and product development come together at the same table. Our team brings complementary perspectives to the work.

Material behavior informs pattern and construction decisions as we refine proportion, movement, and detail.
Wear Feedback & Iteration
Fit sessions, care considerations, and practical feedback guide continued revisions and real-world evaluation.
06 — Responsible practice
Responsibility is an ongoing practice.
SOROFIB considers responsible material choices part of a long-term product strategy, with attention to sourcing, durability, and product life. Bio-based content, environmental attributes, and certifications for Sorona® or other materials should be verified against supplier documentation, product labeling, and applicable regulations.
