Twelve Latina - Owned Businesses To Support All 12 Months Of The Year
At the closing of last year's Hispanic Heritage Month, I was determined to support more Latina Owned businesses and decided to support One business per month (October 2021 - October 2022)
This list ranges from small to big businesses with amazing products and/ or superb customer service.
Their products are made or curated with love with an incredible work ethic
Here is my 12x12 Latina - Owned List:
1. @HijaDeTuMadre
The brand is an ode to mujeres who are unapologetically Latina and takes her culture everywhere. All summer I was obsessed with this denim tote bag. It was perfect for the beach.
2. @DePalmaWelch
An accessible luxury brand.
My favorite scarf is "Alas de Mariposa" because it is a tribute to Panama and represents the country's rich nature and biodiversity.
3. @ShopOasisDelMar
Oasis Del Mar focuses on the idea of living your life with a vacation mindset. I love the fact that this is an Eco-conscious brand that has the perfect summer items. My favorite item for summer was this beautiful ring.
4. @HauseOfCurls
Hause of Curls (HOC) is a widely-popular fashion brand influenced by the Latinx and mixed-race cultures.
They have a diverse group of products like t-shirts, hair products, and even swimsuits. My favorite item this summer was the "Alexa Wash My Hair T-shirt" because the struggle is real!!!
5. @ShopBLatina
Apparel & products making a statement. My favorite is the "Latina has NO skin tone t-shirt" This T-shirt gets a lot of attention and people always want to know where I am from when I am wearing it.
6. @Cafexito.CoffeeShop
Atlanta’s FIRST Mexican Coffee Shop. This coffee shop offers Mexican Fusion Drinks, food, and coffee supplies. My favorite coffee is the vegan Mocha. I have been rocking all year this coffee thermos that is perfect to keep your beverage hot or cold.
7. @YoSoyAfroLatina
A lifestyle brand that celebrates the beauty, experiences & culture of the AfroLatinx community.
My favorite is the "Negrita Mug"
8. @Covedoza
COVEDOZA is an Afro-Latina lifestyle brand that fights for a feminist cause in the face of the system through creativity and collaboration.
My favorite item this year was this beautiful mug that screams: REPRESENTATION!
9. @ByMeche
Afro Latina and Caribbean brands are dedicated to honoring and highlighting Panamanian culture. My favorite item this year was a custom-made "Traveler - est 2022" tote bag. This bag was the perfect gift for all attendees of the Aro Retreat I hosted this year.
10. @RizosCurls
Clean Hair products for curls, coils & waves.
My favorite this year is the Rizos Curls Trio Travel Kit ideal for short vacations.
11. @PossoAthletica
Fitness Apparel premium brand built on the belief/ brand message – I CAN.
My favorite outfit this year is the "Café top and leggings" Obsessed with this workout outfit and always makes me feel snatched!!!
12. @ElleArtistryStudio
Atlanta-based Professional Makeup Artistry.
What I love about Elle Artistry studio is their ability to do DARK SKIN makeup. Not everyone knows how to darker skin tones and the fact that they can match ANY skin tone really is art!!
13. BONUS: @GemsByMocha
Because…why not include my brand in this list ;)
Gems by Mocha is an affordable yet sophisticated jewelry line in appreciation of Latin, Caribbean, and West Indian Culture.
Mis amores, join me this new Hispanic Heritage Month year and also do a 12x12 challenge. Don't just celebrate and support Latin - owned businesses during Hispanic Heritage month. Celebrate us 356 days a year!!
Besos,
Dez
