Maaji is a Colombian swimwear line that was created by sisters Amalia and Manuela Sierra. Their brand is influenced by their Colombian roots and they recently launched in the United States. Most of their suits are colorful and fun, and they offer many different silhouettes so you have plenty of options. The best part about their collection is that all of their swimsuits are reversible, which means you are basically getting two suits for the price of one!

Pallares created styles and fits for every body type and you can mix and match any piece in the collection so if you like versatile styles and the freedom to pick and choose this one is for you. One of the most unique parts of this brand is that each swimsuit is named after women who she looks up to in her life. YEMAYA features a variety of styles but a majority of the suits are solid colors, which is very trendy this summer.

Colombian designer Mauricio Esquenazi founded Peixoto Wear, inspired by his travels. The name “Peixoto” originates from his family name and the Portuguese word for “fish” (peix) which is obviously fitting for a swimwear line. They offer a variety of cuts and modern styles as well as swimwear for boys and girls.
