Maria Sonia, a beautifully crafted, haute couture clothing line from Paraguay, is now exclusively available in the United States through Warmi. This fashion brand specializes in creating timeless, classic pieces with a modern twist. All pieces are handcrafted one-by-one and made from organic cotton in historical, ancestorial weaving techniques and methods carried down from generation to generation. Many workers are rural, indigenous women from Paraguay, creating an ethical sustainability that supports cultures, materials, and the economy. Each item is designed with quality fabrics and craftsmanship in mind. These exclusive designs are as unique as they are beautiful.
These limited-edition pieces are purchased in small quantities of less than 10 per style. Once the pieces are sold through, they will remain unavailable. It’s a rare opportunity to own one-of-a-kind pieces that only a few in the country will have.
Our garments are made by artisans in the Paraguayan countryside. Each community specializes in handcrafting the materials we use, providing a livelihood for local families and preserving ancestral techniques. The “Encaje ju” (needle lace) is woven on traditional looms made from “Aopoi” (fine fabric or delicate garment). All fabrics are sourced from 100% organic cotton.
We encourage and promote the purchase of handmade, sustainable, and environmentally friendly clothing. They are manufactured in small workshops that produce the least amount of environmental waste possible and at the same time support communities, which are mostly made up of women, who are the economic pillar of their homes. The trades of these women were transmitted from generation to generation, which is why we focus on promoting our culture through fashion and thus prevent it from becoming extinct.
