COlombian Brands You Need in Your Closet Right Now

Hi Sis! It’s Diana. Poema’s 2024 Fall Intern!!

A little about me: I was born and raised in Cartegena, Colombia, and moved to the US in 2020. As of right now, I am a Master of Marketing Candidate at Vanderbilt University!! It still feels surreal to type that haha. Since a young age, I have enjoyed putting outfits together, learning about upcoming fashion trends, and showcasing my personality through my outfits. Getting ready will always be my ME time, where I can connect with myself and express all my creativity— even if my outfit is pretty basic (haha?).

Of course, Colombian fashion holds a special place in my heart—it’s vibrant, soulful, and always brings a little extra magic to the everyday. As a Colombian fashion lover, I’m always on the lookout for brands that aren’t just stylish but also tell a story through their designs. These brands do just that, combining the country’s rich culture, craftsmanship, and a dash of tropical flair into pieces that feel like wearable art.

Ready to refresh your closet? Here are the standout Colombian labels I can’t stop thinking about—plus the pieces I’ve already added to my cart (mentally, at least).

WAIMARI

Effortless resort wear, anyone? Waimari's pieces scream “vacay mode,” but they’re polished enough for brunch in the city, too. Handmade by Colombian artisans, every design feels like a small masterpiece.

AGUA BY AGUA BENDITA

Agua by Agua Bendita is like wearing a love letter to Colombia's lush landscapes and traditions. With whimsical, hand-embroidered details, this brand is pure magic for those who like their wardrobe to tell a story.

JOHANNA ORTIZ

A true icon of Colombian fashion, Johanna Ortiz is known for her effortlessly chic, flowy silhouettes and lively prints. If you’re all about making a statement without sacrificing comfort, her designs are a dream come true.

If you’re on the hunt for pieces that blend sophistication with a dash of Colombian charm, these brands should be at the top of your list. With their focus on craftsmanship and thoughtful design, every purchase is a small celebration of culture, creativity, and sustainability.
