About Us
Family. Cultura. Connection.
Started by grandparents in Michoacan Mexico, grown at the swapmeets in Las Vegas, then expanded internationally by the Haro siblings online, D’Santy is fueled by three generations of the same family. For more than 55 years, D’Santy has been creating high quality leather huaraches by hand by the same family members in the huarache capital of the world, Sahuayo, Michoacan, Mexico.
The Haro Siblings...
grew up in “the taller” in Mexico seeing family members make the huaraches. At a young age, the Haro siblings moved to the U.S. and would be made fun of for wearing their huaraches to school and not speaking English correctly, a common judgement since historically huaraches had a negative stigma for being made for farmworkers. Many years later, the Haro siblings decided to expand the business and they turned what was once a derogatory statement, to a statement of pride in their roots by proudly wearing huaraches and now motivating many others to do the same.
