Descalza

Descalza is a young, soul-touching, trendsetting, frijoles and fries eating, Spanglish speaking, rebel. Descalza is for the ally.
Descalza is a handcrafted, made to measure, clothing brand where we collaborate with artisans in Latino America to create unique statement pieces here in the U.S. The one who is fighting against all stereotypes and misconceptions Latinos embrace. They are lawyers, teachers, actors, designers, engineers, US ambassadors, poets, entrepreneurs, and more. They are the product of their family's hard-work and the adversity they've had to overcome. Descalza is for the rebel who takes pride in who she is and whose she is. The one who didn't grow up in a bicultural home, but at some point chose to become one. They paid attention in Spanish class not because they wanted to pass a test, but because they fell in love with the language and culture. Descalza is for the ally who is fighting for the rights and inclusiveness of all individuals even when the law already favors their side. Descalza, meaning "barefooted" or "without shoes", is meant to serve as a reminder to all Latinos of where we began and who is still at home. As we continue to move forward and pave a new direction for our community, we never forget our most humbling citizens from our homes: our artisans. They capture depth, transparency, tradition and value through each loop they knit, each stitch they sew, and each row they weave. Conveniences, like shoes, inhibit them from using their magic to create and design. That's why we source our fabrics from them. Our artisans, sometimes the poorest of the poor, remind us no matter how far we move forward, we never forget to look back, lend a hand, and thank our pioneers.

Every part of this collection was intentional. From setting up the weaving looms to unraveling the yarns and making the fringe, todo fue hecho a mano con mucho amor y orgullo. ๐๐
This collection is available for one more week only at www.descalza.co

Seeing our designs come to life on Dukeโs campus is a testament to whatโs possible when artisan craftsmanship, cultura, and creativity come together.

Itโs here. ๐
Designing a collection for Duke University is such an honor and a full-circle moment for me as a designer.
When I started Descalza, I dreamed of creating pieces that could carry culture, heritage, and story into spaces where they could be seen and celebrated. To now have the opportunity to design for an institution like Duke, right here in North Carolina, means so much.
This collection was created around the beauty of preserving our roots, carrying our heritage with us, and creating new traditions along the way.
These are limited-edition designs, made in small quantities and available exclusively during this pre-order window.
๐๏ธ Pre-order: September 24โ October 8
โจ Limited quantities available
Thank you to Duke University for trusting me and Descalza with this collaboration. Iโm so excited to finally share it with you.

Duke x Descalza are coming together to create 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.
These pieces were created to celebrate that idea.
Pre order window opens for two weeks starting Thursday Sept 24th.

I use fashion as a way to celebrate my Salvadoran roots even if I was raised in NC.
For me, I am de aquรญ y de allรก. I am a mix of both communities, both cultures, both places, and my clothing brand, Descalza celebrates that. ๐
