My name is Sonja and I’m the founder of Neranese. I created
Neranese during downtime in 2020 when the only other thing to occupy me was my new baby. I had already worked for more than a decade behind the scenes for other brands (including Reformation, L’Agence, Whimsy + Row and more) and so with one arm free I did what I knew best and started working on a collection for myself.

I feel most passionate about design where sustainability, beauty and real life meet. My criteria for what I create is that it be consciously crafted, romantically minimalist, and meld effortlessly into the world the modern woman inhabits. Having lived on both coasts, I find inspiration in both NYC’s city cool and L.A.’s laid back vibes - and with this a leaning toward non-seasonality for clothing made to last and be loved indefinitely.

As an independent brand, I’m uniquely able to take the time needed to give each piece in the collection the attention it deserves. Neranese makes fewer, nicer things, created with consideration for the natural world. Everything we make is small batch, low impact, designed and responsibly made in L.A.
