Being Latina and of Hispanic descent is beyond just one month but a part of my heritage and my every-day. It’s truly a celebration being Hispanic so in recognition of all the talented & passionate individuals in the Latin community, I wanted to share some of my favorite brands & establishments.
Here are some amazing Latina owned brands you need to add into your wardrobes and beauty/wellness routines!
Agua Bendita – Colombian
If you don’t already know, Colombia makes one of the most beautiful and fabulous bikinis. One of my personal favorites is Agua Bendita. The brand is known for celebrating Colombia and honoring ancestral techniques through their original handmade designs. Their swim and resort-ready-to-wear pieces are definitely worth to invest in! Each and every individual piece is truly captivating and you are guaranteed to leave a magical presence wherever you go. These are beautiful maximalist designs made to remain in your wardrobe forever.

Anima Mundi- Costa Rican
My absolute favorite place to spend on a Sunday afternoon is Anima Mundi, an apothecary bridging ancient remedies to the modern world. A tranquil space, reminiscent of Tulum’s jungle, transports you into a magical shop filled with botanicals, adaptogens and remedies to rebalance the mind, body and soul. It’s a true farm to pharmacy where you’ll find everything from natural herbs for specific needs to (my favorite) rose chai collagen powder.

Butterfly Studio – Costa Rican
I’ve been a Butterfly Babe for years now and these are the only ladies I trust with my hair. Located in the heart of the Flatiron district, you’ll find an incredible talented group of individuals where their artistry extends to a variation of techniques, styles and colors. Guarantee you will find a specialist catered to your specific style and needs. Kattia Solano’s space embodies an energy where you walk out of your appointment confident and emulating your beauty from within. Every interaction from the front desk to your stylist/colorist is top tier and will only have you anticipate your next appointment!

La Funky Mexicana – Mexican
I stumbled upon this gem during my travels to Tulum and the moment I laid eyes on it, I knew I had to add it into my collection. Lately, I’ve been using it as my every-day purse and it honestly has been the perfect accessory for the fall season. My favorite, of course, The Velvet Big Bag, includes the bedazzled evil eye design. The bag is handmade and available in a beautiful and eccentric selection of colors.
