About Sonya Sapru Designs
Sonya and Sarojini Sapru are the mother and daughter shaping Sonya Sapru Designs, a New-Delhi based design and clothing retail studio.
Sonya Sapru is the founder and creative director of Sonya Sapru Designs. She founded it in 2010 as a graphic design firm, and it has since evolved into a design studio selling clothing, jewellery, and art. Her primary work is designing the studio’s digital prints, and every design at the studio is her own. At the same time, she travels across India, researching craft heritage and living craft practices.
Sarojini Sapru is the Storyteller at Sonya Sapru Designs. She holds a PhD in Urban Geography from University College London. Sarojini maintains the studio’s archive, cataloguing the collections and their narratives, and leads Design Delhi, the studio’s urban design project.
In 1999, Sonya published Zaika, a cookbook of Kashmiri Pandit cuisine built on extensive research into her family’s recipes. It was a way of giving Sarojini a clear sense of her inheritance, and of who she is. Now Sarojini is asking: What can we make together?
Our work draws on our Kashmiri heritage, and we approach it through the idea of living legacy. For us, that means asking what it is to build an inheritance together, and making our own definition of what it means to be Kashmiri.
