About

At Sonrisa Designs, we believe in the power of a smile—not just the one you wear, but the one you create. Our brand is rooted in the philosophy of slow fashion, where we prioritize conscious creation over mass production. We're dedicated to crafting beautiful, high-quality clothing that not only makes you feel good but also does good for the planet.

Each piece is thoughtfully designed and ethically made in my personal studios, in which I split my time between Salt Lake City, Utah and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Risse not only designs the collections, but she also sources the materials, creates the patterns and constructs the sample pieces and final garments, truly defining what it means to create slow fashion.   

Each collection is made up of pieces that are ethically made, using 100% natural fibers, and responsible production practices. By supporting Sonrisa Designs you are not only supporting one small business, but also the numerous small and family owned businesses we source from.  

Join us in redefining what it means to be fashionable. With Sonrisa Designs, you're not just buying a piece of clothing; you're investing in a brighter, more sustainable future, one smile at a time.
