Our Partners

Each SONRIZA product has a unique story to tell, and behind each one are extraordinary stories of talented people. On our journey through Ecuador, we have discovered the country's most exceptional artisans and chocolatiers. Our founder, Sofia, who is also Ecuadorian, actively seeks out these talented hands to collaborate in making products with a positive impact.

These connections have been fostered through recommendations from family members, friends of our founder, or immersive visits to the workshops and villages where Ecuador's finest crafts and chocolates come to life. The most enchanting aspect of our travels in search of skilled hands is witnessing the boundless passion and creativity that the people infuse into their work. We are proud to introduce you to the artisans and partners behind our products.

Hand embroidery t-shirts

Women embroiderers preserving the artistry

ALMAWA is a group of 10 women from La Esperanza, Ecuador, who have dedicated their lives to preserving the age-old art of hand embroidery. This skill, deeply embedded in their cultural heritage and passed down through generations. The meticulous craftsmanship and unique creativity that they bring to each piece are emblematic of the region's rich artistic tradition.

In collaboration with ALMAWA, we've created a unique collection of t-shirts that melds the cultural heritage of Ecuador with the sophistication of European design. Each t-shirt tells a story, a testament to the persistence of these women in sustaining their traditional art form. Moreover, every purchase made contributes directly to their income, supporting sustainable production methods and helping these artisans and their families to thrive.

Most of these women are mothers and skilled experts at hand knitting with alpaca and sheep wool to make gloves, hats, coats, blankets and more.
