Brazilian footwear designer Alexandre Birman has unveiled a new partnership with Colombian brand Agua by Agua Bendita, introducing a twelve-piece shoe capsule collection for Resort 2026. This collaboration combines elements from both brands, celebrating their shared commitment to Latin American culture and craftsmanship.
Celebrating Heritage and Craftsmanship

Both brands emphasize their dedication to artistry and femininity. Mariana and Catalina Kfouri, co-founders of Agua by Agua Bendita, expressed that the collaboration was rooted in an “undeniable” synergy. “We are both deeply inspired by our Latin American heritage – Brazil for me, Colombia for Mariana and Catalina – and by the power of craftsmanship to tell meaningful stories,” they stated in a joint announcement. This ethos of craftsmanship is central to the collection, which aims to celebrate the flora, fauna, and artisanal traditions of the region.

The Resort 2026 collection is now available for purchase on the websites of both brands and in select boutiques around the world. Prices for the footwear range from $525 to $795, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship inherent in each piece. This collaboration not only highlights the artistic vision of both brands but also underscores their commitment to sustainable practices and the romantic vision of Latin America.
