Size and fit guide
The Aren is not subtle. And it was never meant to be.
Handcrafted in Medellín, Colombia, this sculptural macramé one-piece takes over 20 hours to dye, knot, and shape -- entirely by hand. Each strand is individually hand-dyed before being woven into a bold, openwork silhouette that feels more like wearable art than swimwear.
The texture is unmistakable. Rich. Dimensional. Alive in the sun.
A daring plunge. A central macramé panel that elongates the torso. Adjustable side ties that sit high on the hip. Minimal coverage at the back to accentuate the silhouette exactly as intended.
Because macramé is woven, not knitted, it has less natural stretch than traditional swim fabric and is designed to fit close to the body. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up for ease.
This is not a throw-on-and-forget swimsuit. It’s a collector’s piece.
Produced in limited numbers. Made slowly. Meant to be remembered.
Rare by nature. Impossible to rush.
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.
