ABOUT SOPHIA LERNER

Sophia Lerner is a Peruvian brand, founded in Lima in 2016 by the designer of the same name. We offer clothing for both men and women, driven by a passion for creative innovation and meticulous craftsmanship. Our mission is to create unique, inspiring garments that allow each person to express a distinctive aesthetic identity.

We specialize in the innovative use of denim, exploring textures and techniques in every collection. The key to our quality lies in our in-house production. This allows us to have total control over every detail of the process, from design to the final finish. Many of our pieces combine an urban and modern aesthetic with handcrafted details, reflecting our commitment to high-level artistry.

At Sophia Lerner, we believe in creating durable art pieces, not fast fashion. To minimize our environmental impact, a significant amount of the work is done by hand, and each product undergoes over 12 artisanal processes. Additionally, we use recycled fabric scraps from our own production to reduce waste and avoid using new materials.

We work with suppliers who have certifications like the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification (ICEA). To strengthen our transparency, in 2024 we implemented the Ecocanvas model, a European traceability system that allows us to measure and monitor our circular processes.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

  • It takes a lot of work to turn a concept into clothing, some take weeks, some take months. For us, the most important part of the process is the research of textures and what we can achieve with them. We love to work with fibers, with different ideas, creating concepts, that’s the moment when we start developing our collection.
