About the designer

José Sánchez is a Mexican fashion designer, recognized for his leather clothing.

Origin (family backround, birth)

José is originally from the Vale de Mexicali, Baja California, where he was born into a farming family of eleven children. Still as a child, José discovered the potential of leather and showed interest in fashion. With the help of his mother he managed to enter into the fashion world.

The excellence of his creations and the care he gave to each piece brought him soon his first order, which was a considerable amount of pieces by Bullocks Wilshire.

Years later, José decided to start his own business along with two of his brothers. This is how at the end of 1985 the Grupo Joruma developed, which currently has a factory in the North of Mexico, offices and showrooms in the Federal District and Los Angeles, California.

His particular style has been represented with great acceptance in various countries that led him to be one of the most popular Mexican designers for leather fashion.
