Cristales Bikini Bottom
Every Bahía Blues suit is made from Marea: 81% recycled polyester made from plastic bottles.
Cristales Bikini Bottom
The one that goes with everything.
The Cristales is a cheeky string bottom with side ties — minimal, adjustable, and exactly as much coverage as you want. No hardware, no structure, just a clean tie that sits where you put it. It comes in three colorways, which means it mixes and matches across the whole collection. Wear it with the Cristales Top, mix it with the Cocora or Monserrate Tops, or layer it however you want.
Three colorways: Red & Brown, Brown & Ivory, Yellow & Ivory. Fifteen of each. No restocks.

Care for her. She'll last.
Marea is built to take a beating: salt, sun, chlorine, repeat. But a little love goes a long way.
Rinse cold after every wear. Salt, sunscreen, and chlorine don't wait.
Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Mesh bag if you have one.
Lay flat in the shade to dry. Heat is the one thing she can't fight.
No wringing. Squeeze, don't twist.
No bleach. No fabric softener. Ever.
The less heat, the longer she lives.
