It might be the “winter” months, but summer is a mindset…
And for the moments when we escape the dreary cold and seek somewhere warmer, tropical, and exotically beautiful, it’s crucial that your outfits carry that same wondrous essence.
There’s such a difference between chasing an aesthetic and embodying an aesthetic lifestyle, and if anyone knows how to master that, it has to be Agua Bendita.
A Colombian brand renowned for its iconic and distinctive patterns, shapes, and feels, Agua Bendita knows how to bring out that eclectic, one-of-a-kind, and boldly expressive spirit that everyone possesses deep down inside. Each and every one of their pieces are romantic, radiant, and confidently feminine.
Founded by best friends Catalina Álvarez and Mariana Hinestroza, Agua Bendita stands out because of how unique and individualized each piece is.
When asked what sets the brand apart, the founders shared: “We mix all the Pantone colors perfectly… Combinations [sic] make every single piece authentic.”
“Our prints are handmade in-house, our artisans take more than a day doing a single drawing. Then, all of these drawings are digitalized and printed into fabrics with placed prints. Finally, our designs get into unique hands, the hands of our AB hearts. Then, they handcraft our pieces.”

This winter, I’m planning to escape into my very own fantastical world of blue-green waters, lush views of greens and flowers, and golden bronzed tan— and for that, below are my favorites from Agua Benditas very latest release:
Romantic, Dreamy, and Confidently Feminine
Every great getaway starts with the perfect swimsuit. But the difference of what makes a swimsuit “perfect” and beyond just “nice” is that the perfect one that doesn’t just fit, but transforms your entire vibe.
I truly believe that the perfect outfit can bring out someone’s confidence and charm and fully transform them, and the same goes for a swimsuit.
Agua Bendita’s feminine silhouettes have that magic touch of making a moment under the sun into something undeniably romantic.
The One Piece To Make Hearts Flutter
The Conga One Piece is one of those designs that is a true standout.
With a sculpted silhouette with artfully placed cut-outs that are connected with three refined tortoiseshell rings, this one is not only about interesting shapes, but also intriguing patterns. The bold placement print features stunning purple butterfly motifs, channeling a surreal, dreamlike spirit.
Made from sustainable materials, the suit includes adjustable straps to ensure a personalized fit. It also offers UPF 50+ protection for those long days in the sun.
The Finishing Layer For Any Piece
The Zinna Pareo brings effortless elegance and transforms a simple swimsuit look into a completely different feel.
Its vibrant tropical print, full of palms, fruits, and lush florals, instantly evokes the mood of an endless island escape. I am obsessed with how it drapes fluidly, and it looks stunning whether tied at the waist or styled as a breezy cover-up. It’s the perfect finishing layer for warm, sunny days.
Accessories That Intensify Your Magnetism
There is nothing better than the post-beach glam. After a full day spent by the waters and getting the most beautiful sun-kissed glow to your skin, putting on some makeup, blasting your favorite music, and getting ready with your best girl friends to go out for dinner has to be one of the top ten feelings of all time.
For those moments, I feel so much more elegant, elevated, and in my element when I have all the prettiest accessories to feel at my prettiest. Feeling pretty goes beyond the surface level of looks; it’s a mindset of when you truly feel in touch with your best feminine self.
For those special moments, Agua Bendita makes the prettiest beauty pouches, and I sincerely could not be more obsessed.
The Freda Beauty Pouch is the perfect example. It embodies chic functionality, and it’s exactly what you would find by a model’s vanity or a Vogue Beauty Secrets vlog.
It’s more than spacious enough to hold all your essentials, secure enough to travel with, and stylish enough to bring straight from the airport to a seaside dinner. Talk about perfection.
Beach Shirts That Embody Effortless Ease
Some days call for nothing more than easy, breezy style. In those times, you just need pieces you can throw on without thinking, yet still feel instantly put-together.
Agua Bendita’s beach shirts capture that perfect balance, offering comfort without ever sacrificing personality.
The Jack Shirt delivers an artistic twist on a classic silhouette. Its button-up design and short sleeves keep things relaxed. The embroidery-inspired placement print is rich with cross-stitch motifs, and seems like straight out of the pages of a well-traveled, stamped passport.
The Aron Polo Shirt brings a more structured look and textured feel. Crafted from a soft knit with a crochet-like finish, it’s so comfortable that you would forget it’s a polo to begin with. The front button closure nods to traditional polo styling, while the embroidered patch detail gives it a bold, adventurous spirit. It’s effortless, modern, and cool without demanding attention.
