Vanilla Sand Founder Corinna

“WE AT VANILLA SAND DESIGN OUR PIECES WITH THE PLAYFUL CARIOCA SPIRIT, VIBRANT CHARACTER AND 100% SUSTAINABILITY.”

— Corinna, Founder

– To our roots –

Our founder, Corinna, is very passionate about sustainability and it is what inspired her to start an eco-friendly swimwear brand. In 2018, during a two-year stay in Lisbon and after publishing her master thesis on sustainable fashion across different cultures, Corinna discovered her first family-run factory. And after countless conversations and strategizing with likeminded people, Vanilla Sand was born with seats in her country of origin, Germany and in Portugal.

Made locally in Brazil and Portugal

Vanilla Sand is dedicated to transparency and supporting local craftsmanship. We want to provide an alternative to mass production and fast fashion, by offering timeless designs that are flattering and durable.

We source the most beautiful and sustainable fabrics possible to bring our designs to life quickly. Most brands take between 12-18 months before releasing designs, but at Vanilla Sand, a sketch can become a dress in about two or three months, thanks to our local factories.

Everything is cut, sewn and dyed by loving hands, and every person involved in the production works in comfortable, safe conditions (we love you!).

Collections

Our garments are made in beautiful simple shapes, earthy colours and plant dyes from recycled or organic materials. Collections are purposely created in small, sustainable runs and we plan to run out of stock.

At Vanilla Sand, we stand for good vibes and the playful Carioca spirit. We design for everybody who would love to live in beachwear all year long, just like us. Vanilla Sand isn’t just for the beach though. It was just recently that we recognised our deep attachment to soft lounge wear, sexy dresses and bamboo towels for your home wherever you call this wonderful place on earth.
