Sonia Zarate

Sonia was born in the city of La Paz. She comes from a large family, where she and her sisters learned how to knit from their mother and grandmother from an early age.

She has struggled in life due to different circumstances, but she still looks forward to a bright future. There are no work boundaries for Sonia - she works by washing clothes, selling food, and at the present time, she’s very excited to be part of beyondBeanie.

She has five children, and her dream is to own her own house for them all to live in together.

ABOUT US

beyondBeanie is a social fashion brand that empowers artisans and helps children in need in Bolivia.

Your purchases support the work of 20+ talented artisans from La Paz and Cochabamba who personally hand-sign each and every one of their creations and whom you can meet and greet at our website.

Furthermore, every item sold gives back to help children in need. Example: 1 beanie = 5 meals, 1 bracelet = 1 dental care, 1 bag = 1 set of school supplies.
