Born in Riosucio, Caldas in 2009, Barú Swimwear is a Colombian brand built around a love for fashion, craftsmanship, and authentic design. Founded by Paula Villa and Daniel González, Barú brings together contemporary swimwear with the beauty and soul of Colombian craftsmanship.
Every piece is created with intention — from exclusive prints and carefully selected fabrics to the intricate handmade details that make Barú truly unique.
Barú believes in the power of things made with intention.
Its swimwear is crafted in Colombia using high-performance textiles, exclusive prints, and carefully finished details. Many of its signature pieces feature hand embroidery created by artisans in Caldas, bringing together modern design and traditional craftsmanship.
Behind every embroidered piece are the hands and stories of Colombian artisans, including women from rural and Indigenous communities, mothers who are heads of household, and others who have found opportunities through Barú's work. The brand also works with incarcerated men through embroidery programs that provide opportunities for transformation and skill-building.
Barú doesn't believe swimwear has to be ordinary.
From vibrant, hand-illustrated prints to intricate embroidery and distinctive silhouettes, every collection is designed to feel fresh, authentic, and unforgettable.
The brand combines fashion-forward design with comfort and fit, creating pieces designed to make you feel confident and beautiful in your own skin. Barú offers sizes from XS through 4XL, as well as made-to-measure options.
At Arega Shop New York, we love Barú for its ability to turn swimwear into something meaningful.
It's not just about what you wear to the beach. It's about wearing something that carries craftsmanship, culture, creativity, and purpose.
Every detail tells a story. Every print has personality. Every embroidered piece carries the work of a talented artisan.
Barú celebrates women who are authentic, confident, and unapologetically themselves.
Whether you're escaping somewhere tropical, spending the day by the water, or simply looking for a piece that feels different, Barú brings together the beauty of Colombian design with the freedom of summer.
From the hands of Colombian artisans to beaches around the world, Barú Swimwear is a celebration of craftsmanship, confidence, and the beauty of being yourself.
