Six Jamaican Brands You Will Love in 2026
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep. The more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.” – Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
Shakespeare may have been speaking about romantic love, but that line could easily describe the heart of Jamaican entrepreneurship. The more our creatives give to their clients, communities, and craft, the more they multiply in impact. But not always in funds. Let’s change that.
It’s the season of love. While roses (being sold on the roadside) will wilt and those purple-packaged chocolates will melt, these Jamaican brands are built to last. If you’re being more intentional about where your money goes in 2026, start with these six brands that deserve your trust and commitment.
Daren Mears: Wellness and Body Transformation Coach
If your relationship with fitness has been complicated, on and off to say the least, Daren is the steady, consistent partner you’ve been praying for. With over 50 transformations under his belt since 2023, Daren isn’t just coaching weight loss, he’s coaching confidence, energy, and longevity.
“My mission is to help more Jamaicans adopt a healthy, active lifestyle and reduce the risk of chronic illnesses in our community.”
In 2026, we’re not chasing toxic cycles or relationships that add extra burden. We’re choosing healthy commitments.
“What sets me apart is the genuine time, care, and motivation I invest in each challenger to ensure real, lasting results. Hearing how my clients’ health and quality of life have improved is what drives me every day.”

Javoniel Trowers: Artist, Poet, Actor and Creative Entrepreneur
Some brands don’t just speak. They serenade you.
Tallawah Poetry is Javoniel’s vessel for strengthening voice, identity, and heritage through honest, stirring performances.
“My work explores themes of identity, spirituality, social conditioning, and self-authorship.”
His work inspects the relationship between embodiment, language, and cultural memory. Rooted in Caribbean consciousness, his practice is informed by a sense of ancestral inheritance (both known and unknown) and shaped by the traditions of performance poetry, dub, and contemporary spoken word.
This isn’t surface-level art. It’s intimate. It leans in close and reminds you of who you are and where you come from.
“Through workshops, performances, and collaborative projects, I work with artists, emerging creatives, and community members to support creative expression as both a cultural and personal resource.”

Renae Myrie: Fashion, Femininity and Self Care Entrepreneur
Fashion design, luxury lingerie and 100% organic body oil perfumes. Sensuality bottled and stitched with intention.
Renae Myrie is building a brand that celebrates femininity in every form. Her mission is simple: help you feel bold, beautiful, and free to be yourself.
“Through my work, I set out to solve the problem of self-expression and self-care by helping people feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable in their own skin. I noticed that many individuals, especially those with sensitive skin or allergies, struggle to find natural products that actually work and smell amazing without causing irritation.
At the same time, I wanted to give people a way to express their individuality and sensuality through fashion and design. My goal is to create products and pieces that empower, inspire confidence, and celebrate authenticity.”
“When someone wears one of my designs and tells me how sexy and empowered they feel. Watching their posture change and their confidence start to radiate is such a powerful reminder of why I do what I do.”
