Who are we?
Alonso Sobrino is a family business with 100 years of experience in the retail and wholesale fabric industry. Over the past decades, we have continued to expand our inventory, offering a wide variety of materials for jewelry making, resin, polymer clay, and other crafts. We continue to grow daily, providing our customers with the best service so they can bring all their creative ideas to life.
How did Alonso Sobrino originate?
The store's name comes from the surnames of the original founders, who emigrated to Puerto Rico from Spain in 1921 and established their retail and wholesale fabric store in Old San Juan. After their retirement, the company continued to thrive under the second generation: the Alonso-Ruiz family. Finally, in 1999, Alonso Sobrino was acquired by JM Soler, a close family friend with over 50 years of experience in the fabric industry. Today, the Soler family leads the company with great passion and dedication, always seeking new challenges and adventures to provide high-quality service to their customers.
What is our mission?
Our motto, "Invent. Create. Design," expresses our mission by inviting our customers to unleash their imagination and creativity to craft anything they desire without limitations. That's why we strive to maintain a highly varied inventory. Furthermore, we stay abreast of our customers' needs so we can supply everything they require. Not only that, but we also want to motivate people of all ages to believe in their ability to create, which is why we offer in-person courses and workshops on a variety of topics. We also share tutorials, educational videos, and other types of content on our YouTube channel and social media platforms .
