Miami, Florida
Miami is the swimwear capital of the United States. Every July, Miami Swim Week turns South Beach into the global stage for resort and beachwear, and the city's brands live by getting fresh collections to market fast. That rhythm is exactly what nearshore production in Colombia is built for.
Colombia is one of the most respected swimwear manufacturing hubs in the world, with decades of expertise in fit, fabric and finishing for bikinis, one-pieces and resort wear. For a Miami brand, that means working with makers who already understand your category instead of training a factory from scratch. Add the flat 10% tariff under Section 122 and 3-4 day air freight straight into MIA, and you get high-end quality without China lead times or duties.
We work with Miami resort houses, Latin American fashion labels, DTC swim brands out of Wynwood and Brickell, and boutique designers who need small, flexible first runs. Communication is English-first, samples ship to Florida, and production lands in days, not months.
Whether you are prepping a Swim Week capsule or scaling a year-round resort line, Miami moves fast. Tulum is built to keep up.
