SENTIENT WOULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT OUR FOUNDER
Jimena Suárez Ibarrola is an environmental lawyer, who dedicated her career to human, animal rights and sustainable development. After working to pass meaningful legislation that would protect animals and the environment but feeling frustrated by the legal system's shortcomings, she decided to spread a message of compassion and peace through beauty and aesthetics inherent to fashion. Jimena named the brand SENTIENT due to the importance of recognizing a shared capacity humans and animals have to feel love and suffering, and to honor that union through an effort to provide vegan alternatives to leather goods with a commitment to sustainability.
