Sonas Denim was founded by Gerry Kelly an Irish born festival enthusiast living in San Francisco since 2000. Gerry was born in Dublin, Ireland. At the young age of 20, he got an itch for travelling after spending a few weeks on holiday in Greece.  The following Summer, he returned to Greece where he sold t-shirts and jewelry on the beach to other fun loving travelers.  When the holiday season came to an end in Greece, he moved on to Turkey, Israel, Sinai and Egypt where he continued to buy clothing and jewelry to sell to fellow travelers to fund his own travelling.  His tastes in fashion were a hit!

After a few years on the road, Gerry went back home to Dublin to visit his family and to rest for a few months before setting out upon the world again.  He had, as they say, “the travel bug.”  He decided to continue his ongoing search of fun music festivals and good times.  He especially loved to meet passionate party people. He traveled constantly to different festivals and raves around the world, living his dream of partying and meeting new friends.
