Flechada.com: The Premiere Destination for Latin American Products and Services
NEW YORK, May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Founded in 2011 by married couple James Stephenson and Sharon Singer, Flechada.com is the first and only destination on the web focused solely on Latin American made products and services.
The online shopping platform offers a wide array of products, each with a distinctive Latin flair, from jewelry, shoes, handbags and swimwear to apparel. Their specific categories range from handmade, eco-friendly, tribal, exotic, one-of-a-kind to vintage inspired. There is also a noted 'Give-a-Hand' category that supports the indigenous artisan communities whose livelihood depends on their sales revenue.
Flechada in translation means 'love-struck.' The term defines the passion and dedication the founders have for their Latin American inspired website and heritage. The site gives them the opportunity to proudly showcase what Latin Americans, US Hispanics or Latino heritage can do and how their community has inspired fashion trends worldwide.
"We started Flechada in 2011 for two reasons," explains Sharon Singer. "First, we believe in the amazing products that talented Latin American and US Hispanic designers, artisans and indigenous groups create. Second, we have a desire to give back to the Latin American community by providing a valuable platform that allows them to grow their businesses by reaching new markets."
Among some of the exclusive brands on the site are fashion accessories by, but not limited to: Mercedes Salazar, Adriana Castro, Dalia Pascal, Agua Bendita, Lavish by Tricia Milaneze and Katch By Kathy Flesch.
Flechada will continue to grow and expand into more categories including home, beauty, kids, food and travel.
