Size and fit guide
Over 60 hours of hand-beading. Created by Patricia and her team in Cartagena, Colombia.
One of only 36 ever made.
The Lola Beaded Bikini Bottom proves that even the smallest details can make the biggest statement.
Cut with a timeless string silhouette, Lola sits low on the hips with adjustable side ties for an effortless, flattering fit. Rich shades of cobalt, turquoise, coral, and gold bring the collection to life, while hand-applied beadwork adds movement and texture without ever overwhelming the design.
Designed to pair perfectly with the Lola Beaded Bikini Top, this is the kind of bikini you'll pack first and remember long after the trip is over.
The Hands Behind It
Every Lola Beaded Bikini Bottom is handcrafted by Patricia and her team of women artisans in Cartagena, Colombia.
Each piece takes approximately 60 hours to complete as every bead, embroidered detail, and strand of fringe is applied entirely by hand. There are no machines and no shortcuts; just generations of craftsmanship, patience, and extraordinary attention to detail.
Why It's Priced This Way
Every Lola Bikini Bottom represents more than 60 hours of skilled handwork by Patricia and her team, many of whom are mothers and heads of household. Creating pieces this intricate takes time, precision, and craftsmanship that simply cannot be rushed.
Creating only 36 pieces means we never benefit from the massive production discounts available to larger brands. Instead, we invest in exceptional materials, fair wages, and the skilled craftsmanship that transforms every Lola into a piece you'll treasure for years to come.
Limited Production
Only 36 Lola Bikini Bottoms were ever created worldwide.
Once Patricia's team completed the collection, their attention moved on to the next story. Lola will never be reproduced, making every piece part of a collection that can only exist 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.

Sanya.
