15 Of My Favorite Latina/Latinx Online Shops

In the past few years many Latina/Latinx owned business have been popping up all over social media. From clothing to makeup brand, I started seeing myself in these companies, I felt represented.

For over 30 years now we celebrate Latinx/Hispanic Heritage month to show how our culture has had influenced our country (USA). The reason we celebrate from September 15th to October 15th is because the 15th marks the independence day for five Latin America countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Shortly the following countries as well: Mexico, Chile, and Belize on the 16th, 18th and 21st.

 “pays tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society,”
– Quote from the National Hispanic Heritage Month Site

I wanted to share 15 of my favorite Latina/Latinx online shops in honor of Latinx/Hispanic Heritage month.  Some of these brands I have been shopping for years and some I just recently discovered, but overall these latinx and latina brands are ones you will want to check out.

 

JZD

---

This Texas based brand creates some of my favorite graphic shirts. I first discovered the brand at We all Grow at the mercadito shops. I instantly fell in love with their “Morena” top. It has become one of my favorites shirts and constantly get asked where it is from when I wear it.

JZD has made a name for themselves with their popular shirt that says “Latina Power” Being worn by many Latinx celebrities including my favorite singer Fey. Their designs really caught my eye from their colors choices to their graphics prints that made me feel represented. I also recommend their cute accessories from stickers to necklaces.

 

Hija de tu Madre

---

This brand was one of the first Latinx brands I discovered on IG. What caught my eye was their necklaces that represent your home country. Being half Mexican and Salvadorian I always saw products about being Mexican, and not many about Salvadorian culture. When I saw that Hija de tu Madre had a necklace that said ” El Salvador” I had to get it. The quality of this necklace is so nice and worth the money.

HDTM has expanded their products from apparel to accessories. Some of my favorite designs are  the Bandera jackets and their Jefa hoop earrings.

 

Rageddy Tiff

Another brand I discovered at We All Grow. Since then I have been following them on IG and they create some of the most beautiful graphics. One of my favorite designs was their “Arriba las Mujeres” Collection.

Recommended by my friend Ruby, I had to try Vive Cosmetics “Taco Proof” liquid lipsticks. These have become one of my favorite liquid lipsticks that literally last all day!
