How did you land on the name Agua Bendita? When we started AB, we used to put some traditional Colombian scapulars on each one of our swimsuits as an amulet of good luck and good vibes! Then, we noticed that the mix between swimsuits and those scapulars were perfect for the name Agua Bendita, which means holy water and it was the perfect way to show that a woman who wears AB needs to reflect all the best energy and self- confidence. What would you say are your best strengths when it comes to dividing tasks? Is one of you better at one thing than the other? How do you balance duties? We are very different, but we share the exactly same dream and we both think of AB as our oldest baby, so we both take the same care to it. We both get involved in the creative process to develop the inspiration for each collection. Catalina loves being part of the creative structure of the collection: finding new materials, textures, and designing prints! Mariana loves the other part of the process, where she gets involved in patterns and sewing. At the end, the two of us determine which pieces should have embroideries and work with the artisans, our AB Hearts, on the handcrafted pieces. Can you share your favorite clients? Are there any stars you loved seeing your designs on? We love the clients that are passionate about AB. The ones that feel AB is part of their lives. They usually share their photos on Instagram using #Abaroundtheworld: Sofía Vergara, Kendall Jenner, Bar Refaeli, Candice Swanepoel, Irina Shayk, Kourtney Kardashian, Josephine Skriver, Sara Sampaio, Izabel Goulart, Carmella Rose, Megan Williams, Rocky Barnes, Alessandra Ambrosio, J Balvin, Chrissy Teigen… What do you think sets AB apart from other swimwear lines? All the added value of our handcrafted pieces. Our prints are also made from sketch in-house, so you won't get that print in another brand. AB is very special; you get a contemporary design that combines handcrafts and industrial processes all in one piece!
