WHO WE ARE
Our Beginning
At Soteri, fashion is more than just clothing — it’s an expression of identity. Founded by Sophia Andghuladze and Ian Carver, Soteri combines traditional tailoring with a vision for modern innovation. We specialize in eco-conscious, made-to-order apparel, bespoke tailoring, and B2B design and production services.
Whether you’re a brand seeking creative solutions or an individual who values exceptional craftsmanship, the Soteri Fashion House delivers results that inspire trust and confidence.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Truth in Tailoring
At the heart of Soteri is our philosophy: “Truth in Tailoring.” This guiding principle reflects our devotion to the highest standards of craftsmanship, sustainability, and authenticity.
We honor the art of tailoring by blending time-honored techniques with innovative design. From hand-stitched pleats inspired by Georgian traditions to our signature shoulder line that mirrors the natural elegance of a tree, suspended diagonally within the forest canopy, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to tell a story.
HERITAGE
Our Story
Soteri’s journey begins in the vibrant city of Tbilisi, where the rich cultural heritage of Georgia meets the creative energy of modern design. Inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of our homeland, we draw from the colors, textures, and structures of nature.
Our team is led by master tailor Ludmila, Sophia’s mother, who brings decades of expertise in Italian, French and English tailoring. She draws inspiration from the distinct styles of Milanese, Neapolitan, and Roman tailoring schools, blending them with the sophistication of haute couture.
The designing of prototypes and the entire production process take place under one roof at the Soteri Fashion House, ensuring seamless quality and attention to detail from start to finish.
LOOKING AHEAD
Our Vision
With every collection, we invite you to explore the beauty of tradition, the excitement of innovation, and the power of self-expression. Together, we can create a world where fashion is not just about what you wear, but about who you are and the values you stand for.

MILESTONES
Our Journey
2022
Origins
In 2022, Soteri began in a modest atelier, guided by a quiet devotion to true craftsmanship and a profound reverence for the patterns and structures found in nature — first embraced during the brand’s inaugural brainstorming session amid the deep, mountainous forests of Georgia’s Shovi National Park.
2023
Evolution & Growth
What began in a humble attic evolved steadily into a flourishing fashion design and production house. Soteri fostered expansion through rigorous internal training and a spirit of unity. The year also marked the evolution of its signature style — a seamless fusion of tradition and innovation.
2024
International Stage
Soteri stepped onto the international stage with a distinguished debut at Tranoï Tokyo, aligned with Rakuten Fashion Week. Presenting a collection that marries heritage and modernity, featuring the koklos — lush pleated ruffles from traditional Georgian dress — reimagined for today’s wardrobe.
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
“Soteri made me a very fine suit, of superb Australian wool specially sourced from Istanbul, and designed and beautifully fitted in two remarkably easy and efficient sessions — all at a fraction of the price I would have paid in Savile Row. I was delighted with the outcome and recommend them highly.”
