Swagger's Guide to Hispanic Heritage Month: Featured Brands
Hispanic Heritage Month, from September 15 to October 15, is a time to recognize and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans. At Swagger, we are proud to support Hispanic-owned businesses that bring exceptional products and captivating stories that enrich our community and our collective experience.
We’re excited to feature several Hispanic-owned brands that make significant impacts in the world of corporate branded swag, along with their inspiring stories:
Caminito Blankets
Caminito, a Latina-owned brand, was born at the cultural crossroads of California and Mexico. Formerly known as Nipomo, Caminito rebranded in 2022 to reflect its focus on life’s simple joys and the rich heritage of its founders. This motherdaughter team, Elizabeth and Liz, collaborates with skilled artisans in Mexico to create vibrant blankets that are a true tribute to the country’s colors and craftsmanship. Designed in their Bay Area studio and finished with handcrafted leather straps in San Diego, each piece embodies the warmth, tradition, and beauty of Mexican artistry.
Tin Martin Bags
Tin Martin, a Latina-owned brand based in San Diego, California, is dedicated to preserving and promoting the artistry of artisans, particularly from Latin America. Each ethically made piece is a collaboration between Tin Martin and skilled artisans, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design. More than just products, Tin Martin's offerings create opportunities, providing full-time jobs and supporting the well-being of the artisans behind them. Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by exploring a collection that honors culture, creativity, and community.
MEEMA Home & Textiles
MEEMA designs kitchen and home textiles that combine beauty and functionality with a commitment to sustainability. Co-founded by Alejandro Torun, MEEMA continues a family legacy in Guatemala dating back to 1945. The brand upcycles denim and cotton fibers discarded by jeans manufacturers, transforming them into durable, stylish products. Every piece is crafted with ethics at its core, conserving resources and reducing waste. Partnering with The New Denim Project, MEEMA saves 20,000 liters of water for every kilogram of upcycled material and ensures production waste returns to the earth as natural compost. MEEMA’s textiles celebrate sustainable living and family heritage.
Bonita Fierce Candles
Bonita Fierce Candles is a proud Latina and women-owned business dedicated to crafting premium candles that celebrate Latinx heritage and evoke the essence of home. Founded by Melissa Gallardo, the brand reflects a commitment to honoring and sharing the rich traditions of Latin America through beautifully designed candles. Each candle embodies the warmth and cultural depth of Latinx heritage while resonating with the contemporary American experience. Bonita Fierce Candles shine as a testament to the vibrant spirit and entrepreneurial spirit of bringing cultural pride and sensory delight to homes everywhere.
