I am Maria Luisa del Yerro and since I was a child I have been attracted to the world of “rags” and their textures, to the point of trying to make myself a dress or two. I would take one of the many scraps my mother had, imagine what the dress looked like, try to shape it, stitch it up, stitch it down… but the result was never what I expected, imagine the disaster! After several attempts, my childish spirit chose to translate those ideas into drawings, I started to draw complete outfits that I shared especially with my sister Min, I remember how she became my first and best fan; she loved to see them and encouraged me to develop this creative vein.

When I started with this business idea, Leonor & Sofia was born, there were several months of doubts, questions and sleepless nights. I was leaving my job in the commercial area of a company and there would be a new door. I did not move away from what was my professional world and my passion: children and children’s fashion. With a small team, very small, I set out to create what I always wanted as my world. To contribute ideas, to generate illusions, to get smiles, to grow as friends and we are achieving it.
