Effortless is the only word for it. The Sussoni is a loosely fitted, open-front kimono cardigan with wide sleeves and front pockets big enough for your phone, keys, and whatever else you carry. Made with artisan fabric handwoven in Latin America and sewn in North Carolina, it's the piece you layer over everything.
A simple outfit becomes a statement without any extra effort. Meet the people behind the fabric at our Our Story page.
This piece is available in multiple fabrics, each handcrafted by a different artisan community across Latin America.
The Black, Purple Multicolor, and Blue, Red & White fabrics are handwoven by Don Manuel & Family in Nahuala, Guatemala, using a traditional weaving loom passed down through generations. Manuel de Jesus, his family, and the entire village just outside of Nahuala weave not only as a source of income but to keep their culture and traditions alive.
The Mustard Yellow and Red Multicolored fabrics are handwoven by Don Chepe in Concepción de Ataco, El Salvador. Our oldest artisan, Don Chepe has over 50 years of weaving experience and has devoted his life to teaching the next generation how to preserve traditional weaving.
The Cream Multicolored fabric is sourced by Sandra from Aguayos in Cusco, Peru; someone who welcomed us with kindness when we visited her store in 2021 and taught us what every pattern represented.
Each fabric option is then sewn by Doña Magdalena in Sanford, North Carolina, who brings over 30 years of craftsmanship to every piece she makes.
The artisanal fabrics from Guatemala are 100% cotton. While the El Salvador and Peru fabrics are 100% acrylic wool. The linings are a cotton/polyester blend.
Each piece is handmade to order and will be ready in 4–6 weeks. If you need it sooner, email us at hola@descalza.co with your order number and what you have in mind, and we'll do our best to make it work.
It was an excellent experience and the quality of the alb was brilliant.
Beautifully made and great quality!
Absolutely beautiful fabric, and the jacket is skillfully made. I am extremely happy with it. Communication was also terrific; one of the fabrics was going to come in late, so Caro contacted me to ask if a substitution was okay (it was). Can’t wait to wear it!
I love the pattern and the style
