Baobab: Colombia’s Beachwear Visionary, Redefining Resort Style
Founded in Bogota in 2016 by designer Isabella Espinoza, Baobab began as a swimwear label and has since blossomed into a full-fledged resortwear universe. Rooted in impeccable design, sustainability and a celebration of femininity, Baobab has become synonymous with modern, thoughtful luxury beachwear. This SS26 season marks the start of our exciting partnership with the brand.
Design Philosophy Meets Purpose

Isabella Espinoza explains: “Our collections use ocean waste to create new fabrics. We remove abandoned nets, plastics and debris from coral reefs and give them a second life.” Each piece is more than an outfit — it’s a statement of ecological care and a gesture toward a sustainable future. In 2022, the Baobab Foundation launched, addressing three pillars: people, planet and community.

Sustainability as Style

Baobab’s fabrics are high-tech, made from recycled polyester, with printing processes that emit zero chemicals or waste. The result? Vibrant, deep colors that reflect nature’s palette — from sun-soaked oranges to lush greens and deep marine blues. Sustainability isn’t just a commitment — it’s a visual language.

Global Presence and Retail Prestige

Today, Baobab is stocked in over 100 boutiques across 32+ countries, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Luisa Via Roma, Galeries Lafayette, Farfetch, Shopbop, Ounass, Harvey Nichols and Revolve. Flagship stores in Colombia and the USA underline the brand’s growing global footprint.

Elegance in Motion

Baobab’s signature is sculptural minimalism — pieces that move seamlessly from beach to city. A swimsuit becomes a cocktail-ready bodysuit, a flowing cover-up transforms into a sleek evening look. Versatility is the brand’s core code, effortlessly merging style with lifestyle.

Iconic Silhouettes, Modern Design

The brand’s hallmarks include clean-cut swimsuits, tie-front dresses, bandeau tops and sculptural minis. Every design is instantly recognizable: modern, feminine and impeccably tailored.

SS26 Collection: The Codes

Spring/Summer 2026 is a poetic continuation of Baobab’s vision. Earthy neutrals, ocean blues and terracotta accents form a sophisticated palette. Silhouettes are transformable — daytime beachwear evolves into evening-ready outfits. Fabrics are recycled, innovative and exude subtle sheen and tactile luxury. Each piece is a statement of modern elegance and environmental consciousness.
