Size and fit guide
Over 20 hours of hand-beading. Created by Patricia and her team in Cartagena, Colombia.
A bikini top inspired by the elegance of fine jewelry.
The Ines Beaded Bikini Top transforms a timeless triangle silhouette into something unforgettable.
Crafted in luxurious black satin swimwear fabric, Ines is richly embroidered with gold thread and finished with hand-applied crystal beadwork that catches the light from every angle. Layer by layer, each embellishment creates remarkable depth and texture, giving the piece a sculptural quality that feels closer to couture than traditional swimwear.
Bold, refined, and unapologetically glamorous, Ines was designed for women who believe the smallest details leave the biggest impression.
The Hands Behind It
Every Ines Beaded Bikini Top is handcrafted by Patricia and her team of women artisans in Cartagena, Colombia.
Each top requires more than 20 hours of meticulous embroidery and hand-beading, with every crystal and embroidered detail applied individually by hand. There are no machines and no shortcuts. Only skilled craftsmanship, patience, and generations of artisan expertise.
Why It's Priced This Way
Every Ines Bikini Top represents more than 20 hours of skilled craftsmanship by Patricia and her team, many of whom are mothers and heads of household. Every purchase supports fair wages while helping preserve traditional hand embroidery and beadwork that deserve to be celebrated.
Creating pieces this intricate means we never benefit from the efficiencies of mass production. Instead, we invest in exceptional materials, skilled artisans, and the time required to create swimwear that feels as extraordinary as the women who wear it.
Limited Production
Ines is produced in intentionally small batches and will not be restocked once it sells out.
Each collection is completed by Patricia and her team before they move on to their next creation, making every Ines Bikini Top part of a story that can only be told once.
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.
