So it’s certainly no surprise that Latino merchants and makers from across cultures and countries offer a wide variety of awesome gifts and goods for purchase here in the Ciudad del Amor Fraternal.
These Latino and Latina small-business owners curate artisan gifts, import delicacies from Central and South America, bolster local authors and game makers, craft small-batch whiskey, local wine and zesty hot sauces, and even run luxury riverboats.
Whether you’re visiting the region, moved and made a home here, or have lived in Philly your whole life, you’re bound to find new and unexpected treasures when you shop local and explore just some of the city’s many Latino-owned shops and boutiques featured here.
