Every season has a mood, and this one feels like a slow walk through open countryside. Inspired by a vintage landscape painted in soft, earthy tones, La Valle is House of Soi's newest collection, and it turns that quiet scene into clothes you can actually live in. Think muted greens, dusty lilacs, warm terracotta and gentle neutrals, all brought together in artistic landscape and botanical-inspired prints. The fabrics are chosen with the same care: fluid Bemberg silk and crepe for graceful movement, and soft cotton for easy, breathable days. Instead of loud trends, the collection leans on calm shapes, painterly detail and effortless styling. It includes flowing dresses, co-ord sets, a blazer set, a shorts set and a playsuit, so there is something for brunch tables, travel days, family lunches and evening plans. This guide walks you through the launch, piece by piece, so you know exactly what to expect.
What Makes This Launch Different?
Most print collections pick one idea and repeat it. This one reads more like a painting that has been cut and sewn into different shapes. The same colour story runs through every piece, so you can see how a landscape print looks on a tiered dress, a tailored blazer or a cotton playsuit. The silhouettes stay relaxed, the details are thoughtful (pleating, gathers, embroidered hems), and nothing feels stiff or overdone. For anyone building a wardrobe around fewer, better pieces, that consistency makes the launch easy to shop and easy to mix.
Inside the Collection:
1. The Alba Dress
The Alba Dress is the playful one. A V-neckline and softly gathered waist lead into a tiered skirt, and the hemline sits shorter, which is balanced by relaxed full-length sleeves. Fine pleating adds texture, so the skirt swings as you walk. It is made in Bemberg crepe, in green and brown tones, and the layered print feels expressive without being busy.
Where you can wear it

- Daytime weddings and family functions
- Casual evening dinners
Accessories and styling
- Tan or brown flat sandals for the day
- Small gold hoops and a woven crossbody bag

2. The Elia Maxi
If you want drama without effort, the Elia Maxi Dress is the piece. It has a softly rounded neckline, a flowing bodice and a full, tiered skirt that finishes with a gathered lower tier for volume. The painterly print mixes deep greens, rich plum, earthy ochres and touches of violet. Made in crepe, it falls smoothly and moves well.

3. The Maya Brown Set
This is the most artistic co-ord in the launch. The relaxed longline top has softly flared sleeves, and the hem is finished with delicate thread embroidery in a scalloped edge. The top carries a painterly landscape print in blues, greens and warm accents, while the straight-leg trousers stay tonal in brown and cream so the print gets all the attention. The fabric is Bemberg silk.

- Airport and travel days
- Dinner with friends
Accessories and styling
- Slim gold bangles and a simple pendant
- Mules or pointed flats in cream or tan

4. The Rosalia Playsuit
The Rosalia Playsuit is structured but easy. It has a tailored, shirt-style bodice with classic lapels and short sleeves, paired with relaxed shorts and finished with a matching belt that defines the waist. The print is richly layered, with deep blues, greens, earthy ochres and berry tones. It is cut from Egyptian Giza cotton, which feels soft, breathable and naturally crisp.
Where you can wear it
- Beach holidays and sightseeing days
- Casual Fridays and day parties
- Weekend markets and road trips
Accessories and styling
- A straw hat and sunglasses
- Leather slides or espadrilles
- Wear the belt tighter for a sharper line, or looser for a relaxed shape
5. The Valle Shorts Set
Think of the Valle Shorts Set as a polished version of a holiday shirt. A classic collar, button-through front and softly relaxed sleeves sit on an ivory base, with contrasting printed panels that bring in painterly blues, greens and warm earthy shades. The tailored shorts match, so the look is complete the moment you put it on. It is made in Bemberg silk.
Where you can wear it
- Leisurely lunches and boat days
- Travel days when you want to look put together
- Warm-weather evenings
Accessories and styling
- Wear the shirt open over a plain tee, or button it all the way up
- Tan sandals, a canvas tote and light jewellery
- Try the shirt with white denim and the shorts with a plain top to stretch the set
6. The Violette Blazer Set
The Violette Blazer Set is the sharpest piece in the launch. The sleeveless blazer has a notched lapel, a softly tailored waist and a single-button closure, and the wide-leg trousers create a clean, elongated line. The landscape-inspired print sits on a rich violet base with deep greens, blues, earthy ochres and berry tones. It is also made in Bemberg silk, so it drapes rather than stiffens.
Where you can wear it
- Client lunches, presentations and smart-casual offices
- Cocktail evenings and engagement parties
- Dinners that call for something polished
Accessories and styling
- Pointed heels or sleek mules
- A small top-handle bag and sculptural earrings
- Wear the blazer alone with a camisole, or pair the trousers with a white shirt
How to Mix and Match
Because the palette is shared, the pieces work well together. A plain neutral top can sit under the Violette blazer, the Rosalia belt can cinch a long shirt, and the tonal trousers from the Maya set can be worn on their own. A good approach is to start with one print-led statement piece, then build around it with simple basics in cream, tan or soft green. It also helps to keep jewellery light and bags natural, so the print stays the focus.

La Valle is a calm, wearable answer to print dressing. With a tiered dress, a dramatic maxi, an embroidered co-ord, a Giza cotton playsuit, a shirt-and-shorts set and a tailored blazer set, the launch covers casual days, travel plans and evenings out without feeling repetitive. Each piece is easy to style, comfortable to wear and rooted in the same painterly story.
