Contemporary basketry
- • Sonia studied fashion design but she considers herself self-taught
- • She makes functional and decorative pieces mainly with cotton rope
- • Her innovative craftwork ranges from traditional to contemporary
Sonia de Gerónimo has been involved in handicrafts since she was a child. However, she did not consider it a real career option until she graduated in fashion design, enrolled in various textile courses, and discovered cotton rope. In 2015, she started making bags and baskets out of this material, combining traditional craft techniques and innovative design notions she had gained during her studies. Two years later, she launched her workshop to create her brand, Degerónimo. Since then, she has tried to carve a place for herself in a world more and more focused on industrial production. She passionately believes her work with cotton rope can give a new twist to contemporary basketry.
