About Ameyalli Swim

I'm Maria-Fernanda Aldana Vega, and this dream first took shape in 2019 during a trip to Tulum. But honestly, it had been growing inside me for much longer. Ameyalli isn't just swimwear to me. It's my way of honoring where I come from. My Mexican roots, the stories woven into my heritage, and the thing I love the most which is the Ocean. 

The name itself is a piece of that story. Ameyalli comes from Nahuatl, the ancient language of the Aztecs, and it means "the goddess of water that comes from the depths." I chose it because that's exactly what I want this brand to feel like something rooted, soulful, connected to something much bigger than us.

Every piece I make matters to me. That's why each Ameyalli bikini is handmade with care, never rushed, never mass-produced. I don't believe in fast fashion, I believe in making things that mean something. Every order is made just for you, so nothing goes to waste and every stitch carries intention.

I'm also incredibly proud of the materials we use. We partner with a wonderful Italian company that turns discarded ocean waste into beautiful, high-quality fabric. It's my small way of giving back to the ocean that gives me so much.

This journey is still unfolding, and I'm learning as I go. 

With love,
Maria-Fernanda
