Size and fit guide
Designed by Juliana, the designer behind some of Sandy Bottom's most-loved one pieces.
A modern bandeau silhouette with sculpting support and timeless appeal.
The Riviera One Piece proves that simplicity, when done well, is unforgettable.
Crafted from plush terry cloth Italian swimwear fabric, Riviera offers a thicker, ultra-soft feel with added structure for women who prefer a more sculpted fit. The clean bandeau neckline is framed by crisp contrast piping, while the high-cut leg and Latin-style cheeky back create a silhouette that's both flattering and effortlessly confident.
Designed to move seamlessly from the beach to dinner, Riviera is equally striking worn as a swimsuit or styled as a bodysuit with linen trousers or a flowing skirt.
The Hands Behind It
Every Riviera One Piece is crafted by Juliana and her team in Medellín, Colombia, where thoughtful design and exceptional fit are at the heart of every collection.
Each swimsuit is cut, sewn, and hand-finished by skilled women artisans working in small production runs. From the precision of the pattern to the final finishing details, every piece is created with the same attention to fit, comfort, and craftsmanship that has made Juliana's designs some of Sandy Bottom's best-loved one pieces.
Why It's Priced This Way
Every Riviera One Piece is produced in small batches by skilled women artisans in Medellín, many of whom are mothers and heads of household. Working this way allows every swimsuit to receive exceptional attention to construction, fit, and finishing while supporting fair wages for the women who make them.
Creating fewer pieces means we never benefit from the massive production discounts available to larger brands. Instead, we invest in premium swimwear fabric, exceptional craftsmanship, and quality over quantity. We create swimwear that's designed to be worn, remembered, and reached for season after season.
Limited Production
Riviera is produced in intentionally small batches and will not be restocked once it sells out.
Making fewer pieces allows Juliana's team to focus on exceptional craftsmanship rather than speed, ensuring every Riviera One Piece is finished to the standard it deserves.
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.
