Our Latinidad is the super power we carry within our skin, our hair, our eyes, and our hearts. We're proud to be children of immigrants who have the honor to call more than one place our home. That's why we collaborate with artisans from Latino America and seamstresses in North Carolina to create custom-made statement pieces that give us the confidence to tell the world we're proud to be...
DE AQUÍ Y DE ALLÁ.
Whether you're preparing for a special event or simply looking to add some color to your wardrobe, we'll design and craft a one-of-a-kind piece that ensures you'll turn heads the moment you walk in.
These designs are ready to be crafted upon order. Choose a size from our sizing chart or provide your measurements, and we will tailor the perfect piece just for you.
Our newest collection celebrates our heritage through creativity and care for the planet. By transforming secondhand clothing into statement pieces, we honor our roots while reducing textile waste from landfills.

As I grow to live, work, and build community here in Durham, NC, I also want to remember my ancestry, my roots, and carry the resilience of our people with me. Working with Descalza gave me an opportunity to express through my style and appearance representations of Salvadoran culture, through our indigo died cloths.
— Cecilia Polanco
I would, without a doubt, strongly recommend Descalza for any fashion needs. Whether it be for some new unique pieces in your everyday wardrobe, a wedding/quinceañera, or a special event like the Grammys, Descalza is the perfect place to find extraordinary and inspiring pieces that put Latin Culture on full display.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Descalza, a Latina-owned business, for my wedding dress last year, and I cannot recommend them enough. From the very beginning to the moment I walked down the aisle, Lisbeth and her team made the entire process an enchanting and magical experience.

Every element, from the fabrics we select to the stitches we sew, is hecho a mano (handmade). Our deliberate pace ensures unmatched quality and attention to detail.
We promise it’ll be worth the wait. Wearing one of our pieces reconnects you to your indigenous ancestors, reminding you that you are never alone. Your heritage accompanies you, wherever you may go.
This certification means more than a third-party assessment. It's a promise to our Madre Tierra, our Earth, that we'll always choose her. We're committed to creating a positive social and environmental impact just like our indigenous ancestors.
