A celebration of craftsmanship, colour, and the kind of summer that feels impossible to forget. The Lola Beaded Top is entirely handmade in Cartagena, Colombia by Patricia and her team of women artisans, each set taking approximately 60 hours to complete. Every bead, embroidered detail, and cascading fringe is applied by hand, transforming swimwear into something that feels closer to collectible art.
Rich shades of cobalt, turquoise, coral, and gold come together in an intricate mosaic inspired by warm nights, Mediterranean tiles, and vintage resort glamour. The delicate scalloped edges, hand-sewn embellishments, and fluid beaded fringe create movement with every step, catching the light beautifully in the sun.
Designed for the woman who dresses with intention, Lola is not understated. It is bold, rare, and unapologetically luxurious. The kind of piece that becomes part of the memory long after the trip is over.
Part of our limited edition New York Edit, only 36 Lola bikinis exist worldwide. Once sold out, this piece will never be reproduced.
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.
