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.

Each Vanilla Sand piece is marked by the most relevant trends coming from Portugal and Brazil, which is where we produce. We believe in the local culture, and we keep it alive.

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 (we love you!).

Everything is cut, sewn and dyed by loving hands, and every person involved in the production works in comfortable and safe conditions.

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

Vanilla Sand is for mindful women and men, who are looking for playful looks and have a lifestyle that upholds the fusion between culture, authenticity, and nature. 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 recognized our deep attachment to soft loungewear, dresses, and bamboo towels for your home wherever you call this wonderful place on earth.
