Monserrate Bikini Top
Every Bahía Blues suit is made from Marea: 81% recycled polyester made from plastic bottles.
Monserrate Bikini Top
The top you put on in the morning and forget about.
Supportive enough to actually swim in, pretty enough to wear to lunch right after. The Monserrate is a bandeau with detachable straps — wear it strapless when you want to, add the straps when you need to. Either way it stays put. No adjusting, no readjusting, no thinking about it.
Two colorways: Yellow & Ivory, Pink & Red. Fifteen of each. No restocks.

Marea: our fabric
81% recycled polyester, 19% Lycra. Spun from post-consumer plastic bottles. Four-way stretch with full recovery. Chlorine and saltwater resistant. UPF 50+. Quick-dry. Certified by OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and Global Recycled Standard 4.0. Built to last more than one summer — or five.
Fit
Runs small. Size up — especially if you're used to US swimwear brands. Marea has memory, so a slightly roomier fit still holds. Available XS – XL.
Handmade in Colombia
Sewn by hand at a family-run atelier in Colombia we've worked with for years. We know everyone who touches your suit by name. Shipped free from Austin, Texas.
You have 14 days from delivery to request a return or exchange. Suits must be unworn, unwashed, with the hygienic liner intact and the tags on. Refunds go back to your original payment method within 5 business days of us receiving the return.
Made to love your body. Sized like we actually mean it.
Grab a soft tape measure and measure where your body is widest. Bust across the fullest part. Waist at the smallest curve. Hip around the fullest. If you land between sizes, go up.

About the fit

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.
