Founded in 2016 in Barranquilla, Colombia, Waimari is a luxury resort wear brand known for timeless elegance, artisanal craft, and ethical purpose.
Crafted for women who seek sophistication in every escape, Waimari designs elevated resort essentials, fresh dresses with intricate detailing, statement separates, and romantic silhouettes, perfect for destination weddings, coastal retreats, and unforgettable summer moments.
Each piece is handmade in Colombia by local artisans, many of whom are women and single mothers, preserving heritage techniques while empowering communities. The brand proudly embraces sustainability through small-batch production, quality over quantity, and a deep respect for the people behind each garment.
Waimari has captured the attention of the global fashion industry, with features in Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, and Condé Nast Traveler. The brand’s signature pieces have been highlighted in “The White Lotus” tv show, celebrated for their romantic silhouettes and effortless luxury. Whether showcased on runways like Colombiamoda or spotted in fashion capitals, Waimari continues to redefine resort wear, not just as a seasonal wardrobe, but as a celebration of meaningful design and modern femininity.
Founders:
Waimari was founded by Colombian sisters Stephanie Martínez and María Catalina Martínez, inspired by a desire to honor their family’s legacy of craftsmanship while redefining resort wear through a lens of modern sophistication.
Stephanie, with a background in fashion marketing from Parsons and experience at global luxury houses like Gucci, Cartier, and Michael Kors, leads the brand’s strategic vision and global growth. María Catalina, trained in design at institutions such as Marangoni, FIT, and Parsons, shapes the creative direction with an eye for timeless beauty, femininity, and artisanal detail.
