The Inspiring Story of Agua Bendita

Agua Bendita was founded in 2003 by best friends Catalina Álvarez and Mariana Hinestroza, who merged their passion for fashion and design. Their journey began with a humble start—creating bathing suits for their friends and family using Catalina’s grandmother’s sewing machine and repurposed fabrics from a local clothing factory. Today, their brand is a globally recognized leader in handcrafted luxury swimwear.

What Makes Agua Bendita Special?

Handcrafted, Unique Designs

Agua Bendita’s swimwear is a true work of art, featuring exclusive in-house designs. From vibrant prints to hand-beaded tassels and intricately embroidered embellishments, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to create one-of-a-kind pieces.

Empowering Women & Supporting Communities

One of the most remarkable aspects of Agua Bendita is its commitment to social responsibility. Each swimsuit is handmade by skilled Colombian mothers, enabling them to earn fair wages while working from the comfort of their homes. This initiative not only supports financial independence but also strengthens communities by allowing women to balance work and family life.

Sustainability & Ethical Production

Agua Bendita upholds ethical and sustainable practices by ensuring that all suppliers comply with current regulations. Their dedication to responsible fashion reflects in the pricing of their swimwear, which directly supports fair wages, quality craftsmanship, and sustainable initiatives.
