17 Must-Visit Latinx and Hispanic Shops

South Florida is infused with the flavor and vibrancy of its surrounding Latin American countries. More than 70 percent of the Miami-Dade population is Hispanic or Latinx, making the county a cultural hub for diverse art and style. Miamians can begin their day with a bold café Cubano and end their nights dancing meringue until the nightclub closes without leaving city limits.

Aside from the rich food and heritage embedded in Miami’s DNA, fashion and design are also heavily influenced by Hispanic and Latinx culture – and Aventura Mall is home to many leading brands headquartered in Latin America and Spain. Get your proverbial passport ready as you explore vibrant patterns of Brazil, chic furniture imported from Mexico, and baubles from Spanish jewelers, all under the same roof!

We’ve rounded up 17 must-visit Hispanic and Latinx brand stores to visit on your next shopping trip:

Tous

Tous Store at Aventura Mall

With a century of history, Tous has become a leading jeweler in the industry.

UNOde50

Unode50 Jewerly Store at Aventura Mall

If you’re looking for handcrafted pieces, UNOde50 is the place to go.

The unique styles were a wild success and, soon after, UNOde50 began making a variety of styles showcased in more than 100 stores around the world.

In a history-making move, the shoe company met up with Yves Saint Laurent in the 1970s to collaborate on the first wedged espadrille.
