Handmade in Portugal, made to flatter. Sofia Godinho swimwear is cut for real bodies and long summers, in fabric that holds its shape and colour.
Choose your shape: one-piece swimsuits or bikinis, then add waterproof jewellery you can wear in the water.
Handmade Swimwear, Made in Europe
Bikinis and one-pieces cut and sewn by hand in our Guimarães atelier, in northern Portugal. Flattering shapes, a Mediterranean spirit and fabric that holds up to salt, sun and years of summers.
- Handcrafted in our Portuguese atelier
- Flattering bikinis and one-piece swimsuits
- Quick-drying, chlorine and sun resistant
- Sizes and shapes for real bodies
Every piece in our women's swimwear collection begins as a flat length of fabric on a cutting table in Guimarães. We shape the cups, set the seams and finish the edges by hand, so a bikini sits where it should and a one-piece moves with you instead of fighting you. Nothing is rushed, and it shows in the fit.
The look is unmistakably Mediterranean: clean lines, warm tones and a quiet confidence that works on a rocky cove or a hotel pool. Our fabric is soft against the skin, dries fast and keeps its shape through sunscreen, seawater and the odd forgotten afternoon in the sun.
Because we make swimwear in small runs, we can care about the details most brands skip. Adjustable ties, supportive linings, thoughtful coverage. Choose a bright bikini for long beach days, or a sculpting one-piece for the moments you want to feel put together the second you step out of the water.
Questions, answered
What fabric is your swimwear made from and how do I care for it?
We use a soft, quick-drying stretch fabric that resists chlorine, salt and sun. To keep it looking new, rinse in cold water after each swim, wash by hand with mild soap and dry flat in the shade, away from direct heat.
How do I choose the right size, and do the bikinis run small?
Our swimwear runs true to size for most women. Each product page has a measurement chart in centimetres. If you are between sizes or prefer more coverage, size up. The adjustable ties on many styles give you a little room to fine-tune the fit.
Where does the swimwear ship from and how long does delivery take?
Everything is made and shipped from our atelier in Portugal, so orders reach Spain, France, Italy, Germany and the rest of the EU quickly, usually within a few working days. Shipping times and any duties are shown at checkout for your country.
