Agua Bendita
Agua Bendita was founded in 2003 by best friends Catalina Álvarez and Mariana Hinestroza in Medellín, Colombia, who merged their passions for fashion and design to create their dream brand. Starting with nothing more than Catalina's grandmother's sewing machine and leftover fabrics from a local clothing factory, they began handcrafting swimsuits for friends and family, laying the foundation for what would become a global fashion phenomenon.
Today, Agua Bendita has evolved into a leading Colombian brand with thirty stores nationwide and a presence in over fifty countries worldwide. The brand works with more than 500 local artisans who use techniques passed down through generations, creating intricate designs with exquisite embroidery and hand-illustrated features. Known for capturing the vibrant essence of Latin America through sustainable practices, Agua Bendita operates two distinct brands: the original swimwear line and the luxury Agua by Agua Bendita collection launched in 2018.
