It starts with you.
Be one of the first to bring Cayucas to life.
WHAT IS CAYUCAS?
Cayucas is a Latina-owned footwear brand reimagining the huarache. Handmade in Mexico, designed for movement, and rooted in heritage — this is tradition, modernized.
What is Kickstarter and how does it work?
Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that lets you support creative projects by
pre-ordering. When you back Cayucas on Kickstarter, you're reserving your pair in advance. Your pledge helps us fund production and provide more consistent work to our artisan partners in Michoacán.
Why are you launching on Kickstarter?
Kickstarter allows us to build this brand directly with you — our community. Instead of mass-producing upfront, we’re making what people truly want. Every pledge helps us launch with intention, reduce waste, and support the artisans weaving each pair.
What do I get when I back the campaign?
Depending on the reward tier you choose, you’ll receive:
- Early access to Cayucas at the best price
- Limited-edition gifts like postcards, stickers, or exclusive content
- A direct role in helping bring this brand to life
When will I receive my shoes or rewards?
We plan to begin production right after the campaign ends. You can expect your Cayucas to arrive this fall — we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
Can I choose my size and style?
Yes! Once the campaign ends, you’ll receive a survey to select your size and style from the available options. We’ll guide you through it — easy and clear.
Where are the shoes made?
Every pair is handmade in Sahuayo, Michoacán by skilled artisans who’ve passed down the weaving technique through generations.
What if I miss the Kickstarter? Will I still be able to buy a pair?
Kickstarter backers get first access and the best prices. We may offer future drops, but quantities and prices will be limited — backing now guarantees you a pair.
Is my payment secure through Kickstarter?
Yes. Kickstarter uses a secure payment system. You’re only charged if the campaign reaches its funding goal.
When does the Kickstarter launch?
We’re launching this summer — exact date coming soon.
How will I know when to buy via Kickstarter?
If you join the email list, you’ll get early access the moment we go live — including first dibs on limited rewards and the best prices.
