During her successful years in the fashion and diamond industries, Sonja helped several of her clients transform and repurpose their wardrobes, homes and jewellery collections into new creations to be loved all over again. It was on a trip with her daughter to Kenya that changed her life’s mission after being inspired by Kenya’s beauty and witnessing first hand the rich culture of the country and how the locals respect and repurpose the earth’s resources.
The Queen of the closet was born out of a sheer desire to create a more sustainable environment for future generations to inherit. Unlike other companies that ask you to make peace with what you have and fold it better or to donate what you do not like , we ask that we find ways to repurpose the item in order to avoid further landfill matter. Buy quality. Buy less. Let’s work on ways we can organize, repurpose and rededicate unused items back into circulation.
Sonja is devoting her professional and creative ingenuity to spearheading and supporting numerous sustainable living initiatives in the fashion, home design and synthetic diamonds industries. Along with her team of consultants, they are committed to building a sustainable, carbon-free environment while making sure the wasteful by-products of fashion are low and the quality of repurposing everything in our day to day life reach higher levels.
