34 Latinx-Owned Fashion Brands You Should Know About

Despite the vast majority of Latinx people priding themselves on always looking their very best even to go to the corner store (because, as our mothers have ingrained in our brains, you never know what’s going to happen or “who‘s going to be there), Latinx communities are not a monolith culture. Across the diaspora, there are a plethora of cultures that, yes, oftentimes overlap.

Our rich heritage allows us to blossom in the creative fields. From a handful of brands that are dominating the beauty industry and boybands that are on every Gen Z playlist, Latinxs are crossing to the mainstream so you better get used to it. 

One way we love to incorporate the best Latinx brands is in what we wear. Whether it’s rocking innovative knitwear, sporting face masks that are AOC-approved, or sustainably made purses, we’ve gathered a wide array of Latinx fashion brands for you to check out.
