Aqua Intima ("Intimates for the Water"): Love Stitched into Every Seam

Growing up in Puerto Rico, the ocean wasn't just a view; it was my life. The scent of salt air, the feel of warm sand, and the endless expanse of turquoise water are woven into the fabric of my being. And yes, swimwear was a constant. I lived in it.

Later, as a model, I discovered something powerful: the confidence that comes from feeling truly comfortable in what you wear, especially a swimsuit. But even with a closet full of swimsuits, something was missing. I longed for pieces that felt as personal and supportive as my favorite lingerie, swimwear that moved with me, not against me.

That's when the dream of Aqua Intima began to take shape. I wanted to create swimwear that was both beautiful and functional, pieces that felt like a natural extension of the body, like "intimates for the water."

The journey wasn't easy. I remember buying a simple sewing machine and spending hours, days, even weeks, perfecting the fit and silhouette. I sewed those first samples myself, and to this day, I still personally sew samples. Why? Because I believe in the power of detail. I want to ensure every seam is perfect, every stitch is just right, and that the quality of Aqua Intima is truly unmatched.

This wasn't just about creating a brand; it was about bringing my vision to life, a vision born from the ocean and fueled by a desire to empower women to feel their absolute best in the water. Aqua Intima is more than swimwear; it's a piece of my story, a tribute to the ocean, and a promise of comfort and confidence. I'm thrilled to share it with you, one perfectly stitched seam at a time.
