Sonia Ferrer Marí is the founder and designer behind DELBES IBIZA, a brand that was born with the aim of showing the unknown Ibiza and maintaining the techniques and craftsmanship of the island. In her workshop at the top of a mountain in the north of Ibiza, she creates pieces looking for absolute consistency with everything she believes in and with her life itself, the engine of her inspiration.
The Ibizan regional costume and the peasant dance are part of the designer’s roots and are the trademark of DELBES. Respecting the origin, she transforms it, bringing it to the present day in a creative process that is more similar to the creation of a work of art than a product. Her productions are made with low consumption of renewable energies and are 100% handmade and local, using fabrics that are 100% natural.
Descended from a long line of Ibicencos, Sonia Ferrer's practice is applied to contribute and help maintain and enhance the history and tradition of the island, something she considers a duty. Her motto: “Ibiza is much more than fashion, it is a lifestyle, the life of an island.” In addition to her work, she likes to keep a tradition of the island alive in her spare time: the cry of UC, which she will share with us on this occasion.
She studies fashion at IED Madrid.
