Coquette is officially everywhere, and Latine brands are no exception. The true girls’ girl aesthetic is famous for its feminine bows, pastel pinks, and delicate lace. You might think the trend has run its course, but with Valentine’s Day here and spring around the corner, there’s no better time to be as girly as your heart desires. Lucky for us and our flirty ways, there are plenty of Latine-owned fashion and beauty brands with coquette aesthetics. 

Whether it’s a Tik Tok-viral pink lip oil or a pastel-colored lingerie set, here are our six Latine-owned brands that just scream coqueteo — and take note partners, these would also make amazing romantic gifts!
