Susan-Jayne Caballero at Sacra Indumenta designs and creates contemporary bespoke ecclesiastical vestments and altar linens of heirloom quality and finesse. Her company, Sacra Indumenta, offers a full-service design and tailoring atelier dedicated to creating works of art for service at the altar.
She has quickly become a notable voice in the creative field of vestment design, ecclesiastical fashion, textiles, and sanctuary décor. She has built her name through extraordinary good taste and creativity, helping to beautify the sacred rites with better vestments. Her brand, Sacra Indumenta, is Latin for "sacred covering."
From her hand-stitched labels with the personal touch of silk thread tailoring, each creation of Sacra Indumenta is a work of art.
A convert to the Catholic Faith, Susan-Jayne brings her extensive education and long professional career and uncompromising standards to the service of the Church, helping others in their rediscovery of beauty in the sacred liturgy. She leads the way as part of the bourgeoning cadre of artists whose craftsmanship is returning to traditional methods of design and creation, rooted in tradition.
Her creations are of fine silks, pure linens, and other sophisticated materials and follow time-honored methods of creation, always nurturing beauty, made with great care by hand and made to last a lifetime.
Items by Sacra Indumenta are bespoke, meaning they are custom made, unique creations. Not only is Susan-Jayne known for her fine vestment creations, but also for her Mass linens and baptismal gowns, her tabernacle veils and altar clothes, all with an other-worldly elegance that rivals the best ecclesiastical tailors. She works with vendors and suppliers all over the world.
