Founded in Barcelona by Sheyla K. Cholima Saavedra, ETNIA 36 brings together contemporary swimwear design and the artisanal heritage of the Bolivian Amazon.
Connected to women artisans from Bolivia, the brand creates swimwear that combines craftsmanship, cultural influences, and carefully selected materials. ETNIA 36 swimsuits are made with fabric containing ECONYL® regenerated nylon, produced from nylon waste through the ECONYL® regeneration process.
Every ETNIA 36 swimsuit begins with a design process that considers material selection, functionality, and versatility from the earliest stages of development.
ETNIA 36 swimsuits are made with fabric containing ECONYL® regenerated nylon, produced entirely from pre- and post-consumer nylon waste through the ECONYL® regeneration process.
Each swimsuit is fully reversible, offering two styling options and greater versatility within a single garment. The patterns are carefully developed to provide comfort, a flattering fit, and freedom of movement for the women who wear them, both in and out of the water.
Designed in Barcelona, the collections combine contemporary aesthetics with elements inspired by Bolivia’s artisanal heritage. Each style is developed with a focus on quality, versatility and durability.
