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.
Duke x Descalza present a limited-edition collection inspired by one of our deepest values: tradition.
We believe there is beauty in preserving where we come from, carrying our heritage forward, and holding onto the traditions that connect us to the generations before us.
Your denim jacket, but make it Descalza. Send us your jacket, and we'll transform it into a one-of- a-kind piece using our vibrant handwoven fabrics from Latin America.
Customize Your JacketAs 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-dyed cloths.

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.

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.
