A truly great swimsuit makes you want to get out there and show the world what you've got. Trust me, I know they're not easy to find, which is why when I find a swimsuit that makes me feel good, I want to scream it from the rooftops. Agua Bendita –established in 2003 by Columbian designers Catalina Álvarez and Mariana Hinestroza— creates gorgeous swimwear that give their clients supermodel-confidence. Meaning, when you're suited up in AB, you're likely to strut into that pool party like it's a catwalk and take a lot of photos in it for the 'gram. Touting a variety of flattering cuts and styles that provide full to minimal coverage, AB's handcrafted collections boast intricate beadwork and embroidery that warrant calling their pieces works of art. Using ancient techniques, AB enlists the talent of hundreds of Columbian artisans to create their unique one-pieces and bikinis. The swimwear brand has grown tremendously over the last decade, and because of its success has expanded into resort wear and activewear. Currently sold in over 60 countries and consistently featured in Sports Illustrated, everyone, from models like Bar Refaeli and Irina Shayk to millennials, is suiting up in AB. Founders Catalina and Mariana, whose coveted line just graced the runaways of Miami Swim Week, share with us how their brand amassed its extraordinary clientele, the story behind the name, how they divvy up their duties, and more.
