As the sun dips behind the Andes, Agua by Agua Bendita unveils Ocaso, a Resort 2026 collection inspired by La Leyenda del Dorado and the golden hour’s quiet magic. Rooted in Latin American storytelling, the collection captures that fleeting shift from day to night, when light turns liquid gold and shadows stretch long.
Floral motifs native to Andean ecosystems, such as dancing orchids, wild sage, nightshades, and frailejones bloom across silk, velvet, and embroidered tulle. Augusta Innes Withers’ botanical artistry inspires prints awash in terracotta, wine, burnt yellow, and vivid contrasts of navy and black. The mood deepens with dramatic eveningwear: strapless necklines, veiled fabrics, and glittering textures designed for festive occasions.
Standout pieces include the reinvented Arcilla Dress, available in black or white embroidered tulle, alongside new silhouettes like Alcaparra, Álamo, Tonia, Poesía, Abeja, Clavel, and Frambuesa, that redefine Agua’s signature elegance for after dark. With Ocaso, the brand steps beyond its beach-to-city roots, offering looks that glow under both sun and stars.
