The Beauty Is in the Hands

At Carasoles, we believe that true luxury isn’t just how something looks — it’s how it’s made, and who made it. Behind every stitch, bead, and braid in our pieces is a story of heritage, intention, and artistry. Our designs are not mass-produced. They are born from a commitment to slow fashion, original artistry, and our roots as Colombian sisters building something that feels personal and lasting.

Crafted With Purpose

From the very beginning, we knew that Carasoles had to stand for more than just beautiful swimwear. It had to reflect who we are: our culture, our craftsmanship, and our care.

That’s why we’ve partnered with a small group of incredibly talented Colombian artisans who bring our pieces to life by hand. Their techniques — passed down through generations — are reflected in every knot, every bead, every embroidered thread. This isn’t fast fashion. This is intentionally made, thoughtfully designed, and deeply human.

From Colombia to the USA: A Cross-Cultural Collaboration

Our prints are created in-house by a local artist in New Jersey. They’re hand-drawn, exclusive, and inspired by global destinations close to our hearts — from Spanish folklore to Colombian soul. Once the designs are ready, they’re passed on to our Colombian artisans, who carefully integrate custom finishes that make every Carasoles piece feel like a work of art.

In our latest collection, La Española, you’ll find some of our most intricate handmade details to date:

• 🧵 Fan-inspired embroidery on our reversible bikini, sarong, and bandanna — a nod to the Spanish abanico, crafted stitch by stitch
  
• ✨ Delicate beading and stitching on our Penelope one-piece, offering a dimensional, artisanal texture you can feel
  
• 🪢 A stunning macramé back design on our upcoming pre-order one-shoulder piece — created entirely by hand over the course of several hours. It’s not just swimwear; it’s sculpture

These details aren’t just decorative — they’re part of our DNA. They show the soul of our product, and they connect our customers to something deeper: a tradition of craft, a respect for time, and the pride of our Colombian heritage.

A One-of-a-Kind Philosophy

No two handmade pieces are exactly alike — and we love that. Each swimsuit carries the small differences that only human hands can create. In a world of fast, disposable fashion, we choose to slow down. We choose meaning. We choose beauty that lasts.
