Crafted slowly. Designed to stand apart.
The Livia Beaded Cheeky Bikini Bottom carries the same extraordinary craftsmanship as the matching Livia Bikini Top. Handmade in Cartagena by women artisans, each piece is carefully embroidered and hand-beaded over the course of up to 20 hours, transforming swimwear into something far beyond ordinary.
Made from rare vintage textiles, the fabric itself carries history and character. The deep black botanical print is layered with intricate pearl beadwork and delicate embroidery, creating a dimensional surface that feels rich, textural, and unmistakably artisanal. Zebra-print side ties add an unexpected contrast, balancing the ornate beadwork with bold visual energy.
Because these fabrics are no longer produced, each Livia bikini is inherently one of a kind and cannot be replicated.
Only 30 Livia bikinis exist worldwide, and once they are gone, they will never be recreated. Each piece includes a Certificate of Originality signed by the artist, marking it as part of this extremely limited release.
Designed with a low-rise silhouette and cheeky coverage, the bottom flatters the hips while elongating the legs. The handkerchief-style side ties add movement and softness, creating a playful finish that complements the intricate beadwork.
Pair it with the Livia Beaded Bikini Top to complete a set that celebrates rare materials, patient craftsmanship, and true artisanal design.
Thirty bikinis. Twenty hours of handwork. One unforgettable piece.
Let’s get one thing straight: we’re not a fast-fashion brand and we’re not interested in pretending to be. We don’t do disposable trends or pieces that lose their spark after a season. We choose a slower, intentional path. One that honours artistry, empowers the women who craft each piece, and delivers swimwear designed to outlast the moment and elevate every getaway.
Each piece is crafted by women artisans worldwide, combining craftsmanship with confidence-inspiring designs.
We curate unique, small-batch swimwear designed to stand out. Why settle for ordinary?
We focus on quality with ultra-soft fabrics, flattering fits, and durable designs that last season after season.
I grew up on the shores of St. Lucia, where the water is warm, the days are long, and the women are strong. That island spirit shaped me. It gave me an eye for beauty, a love for bold colour, and a deep respect for women who do it all with grace.
Sandy Bottom started with a simple idea: what if I could create something that honoured the women I grew up around and the woman I was becoming?
When my daughter left for university, I decided to show her something important: that reinvention doesn’t have an age limit. That it’s never too late to build something from scratch. That betting on yourself is always worth it.
But this brand isn’t just about me. It’s about women everywhere. The artisans from Colombia to Italy, Bali to Brazil who hand make every piece with skill, heart, and tradition. The women keeping generations of craftsmanship alive while shaping futures of their own.. And the customers who choose slow fashion over fast trends, and impact over impulse.
Every Sandy Bottom piece is carefully curated and helps support real women with real stories. Women earning fair wages. Women preserving culture and craft. Women lifting each other up.
This isn’t fast fashion. This is swimwear with soul. This is resort wear with resonance. This is style with a purpose.
This is an international sisterhood.

Sanya.
