Crafted for the Details
One of only 18. Hand-beaded by Patricia and her team in Cartagena, Colombia.
Some swim shorts are made for the beach.
These were made to be remembered.
The Perla Men's Swim Shorts are a celebration of craftsmanship, patience and understated luxury. Cut from our exclusive Perla print, each pair is transformed by intricate hand-applied beadwork that catches the light with subtle movement, elevating a timeless swim short into something truly extraordinary.
Whether worn on their own or paired with the Perla One Piece, they're designed for men who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and believe luxury is found in the details.
Every pair of Perla Men's Swim Shorts is hand-beaded by Patricia and her team of skilled women artisans in Cartagena, Colombia.
Each pair requires approximately 18 hours of meticulous handwork as hundreds of delicate glass beads are individually stitched into place. Every bead is carefully applied by hand, creating texture, depth and a finish that simply can't be replicated by machine.
No two pairs are ever exactly alike—a reflection of the women whose artistry brings every piece to life.
Perla reflects the time, craftsmanship and artistry invested in every pair.
Each pair combines premium materials with approximately 18 hours of meticulous hand beadwork, completed by Patricia and her team of skilled women artisans in Cartagena.
Because we produce in intentionally small batches, we never benefit from the large production discounts available to mass-market brands. Instead, every piece reflects fair wages for the women who create it, exceptional craftsmanship, and the time required to complete every detail by hand.
This isn't the cost of mass production.
It's the value of craftsmanship.
Limited Production
Only 18 pairs of the Perla Men's Swim Shorts were ever produced worldwide.
Created as part of our limited-edition New York Edit, this design will never be reproduced.
Once the final pair is gone, this collection becomes part of Sandy Bottom's story.
Some pieces are purchased.
The rare ones are collected.
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.
