Sweet Llamita’s Greeting Cards Aim to Celebrate Everyone

In 2008, Brenda Castillo was shopping for a Father’s Day card when the seed for Sweet Llamita (@sweetllamita) was planted. “I remember walking into this stationery boutique and feeling very excited because everything was so beautiful,” says Brenda. One problem: none of the cards reflected her dad, and the millions like him who didn’t wear a suit to work. “I couldn’t find anything in Spanish or any imagery that I could share with my dad. All I found were really pretty cards with bow ties. It seemed insensitive,” says Brenda, whose family moved to California’s Napa Valley from Mexico City when she was 9.

Last year, she took matters into her own hands and founded her card company, which meets the demands of Spanish, English and Spanglish communities. “I want to make cards that are beautiful, unique and inclusive, that celebrate everyone, regardless of spoken language or ethnic background,” she says.
