About Us

Every piece in our collection is designed by Karmel Bortoleti, a Brazilian-born entrepreneur, model, actress, and author who grew up in a small town in Brazil. Deeply rooted in her culture, Karmel infuses the vibrant spirit of Brazil into each bikini, blending sleek, minimalist designs with the warmth and passion of her heritage (Beijo, meaning "kiss" in Portuguese, celebrates that sun-kissed, effortless beauty).  

Beyond fashion, Karmel understands the power of community and the importance of giving back. That’s why our mission goes beyond the beach: We empower Brazilian women and underserved communities by creating opportunities to support their families while preserving the artistry of handmade craftsmanship.  

Thank you for joining us in celebrating Brazilian culture, uplifting Women, and keeping the soul of craftsmanship alive one bikini at a time.
