Guests Total $190 for 2 guests

Spend two relaxed hours designing a bikini that's entirely your own - in a bright space in Botafogo, with Cristo watching over you and your favorite people getting creative next to you.

From 11:00 to 13:00, you'll choose everything that makes it yours: your colors, your straps, your charms, and the little finishing touches. No sewing experience needed - we guide you through each step, from picking your base to threading your straps and adding beads and details. You'll leave with a bikini that exists nowhere else in the world, and the memory of the day you made it.

It's so much more than making a bikini. It's sharing ideas, sipping something cold, and creating together - the perfect thing to do with friends, your sister or as part of a bachelorette trip. A creative alternative to just another day on the beach.

From soft pastels to Brazilian greens and yellows, you'll find a palette that's all yours.

questions, answered ✦

What happens at the workshop?

You'll design and make your own bikini from start to finish. You choose your colors and base, then add your straps and details like beads or charms. We guide you through every step, and you leave with a finished bikini that's entirely yours. It takes about two hours and no sewing experience is needed.

Do I need any sewing or design experience?

None at all. The workshop is built for complete beginners — we walk you through everything, and the design choices are the fun part. You just bring your taste.

How long does it take?

About two hours, from 11:00 to 13:00, at a relaxed pace. There's no rushing — it's meant to feel like a creative hangout, not a class.

Can I mix and match top and bottom sizes?

Yes. You choose your top and bottom separately, so you can mix sizes for the best fit. We'll help you find what works for your body.

What sizes do you offer?

We carry sizes from small to large, designed with a flattering cut that offers a bit more coverage than the typical Brazilian style — perfect if you want something you can wear anywhere in the world. If you're unsure, message us before booking and we'll guide you.

Can I come on my own?

Workshop bookings are for 2 to 4 guests, so bring a friend, your sister or your travel buddy. Bachelorette groups are perfect too.

Coming solo? Join our December workshop, where you'll make your bikini with a group of girls from all over.

Is it a private session?

Yes. Every booking is just you and your 2–4 friends. For 5 or more, or a bachelorette, message us on WhatsApp and we'll send you a quote.

Do I need to book in advance?

We recommend booking ahead since there are only a few sessions each week. Bigger groups and bachelorettes should message us as early as possible.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Cancel at least 7 days before for a full refund. Between 3 and 7 days before, you get a 50% refund or can reschedule once for free. Within 48 hours it's non-refundable, but you're welcome to send someone in your place.

Just message us on WhatsApp. Full cancellation policy

Do I need to bring anything?

Just yourself. All materials, tools, and your finished bikini are included. We'll also have a drink and some snacks waiting for you.

Is it good for tourists or people just passing through Rio?

Absolutely — it's designed for exactly that. It's one of the few things you can do in Rio where you create something yourself and take it home. A real memory, not a souvenir from a shop.

Where is the workshop held?

In a bright studio in Botafogo with a view of Cristo Redentor. The exact address is shared once your booking is confirmed.
