Luxury meets heritage in a unique collaboration between Agua by Agua Bendita & Zacapa. This partnership brings together Colombian fashion artistry and premium Guatemalan rum in a limited-edition gift set that pays tribute to Latin America’s deep-rooted traditions and artisanal excellence.

Merging Fashion and Spirits: Agua Bendita & Zacapa Join Forces

Agua by Agua Bendita, known for its handcrafted luxury fashion, teamed up with Zacapa, one of the world’s finest aged rum brands, to design an exclusive release that blends elegance with cultural legacy. Together, they created a luxury gift set featuring:

  • A bottle of Zacapa XO rum
  • An embroidered handbag with a woven bag charm
  • Two hand-painted ceramic cocktail glasses
  • A wooden cocktail spoon designed by Agua by Agua Bendita

Each element in this collection tells a story of craftsmanship and cultural identity, connecting fashion and spirits through shared values.

Design Details Inspired by Tradition

The embroidered handbag stands at the heart of this collaboration. It showcases Agua by Agua Bendita’s intricate needlework and honors Zacapa’s heritage with Petate weaving—a traditional Guatemalan technique.

The floral design incorporates orchids, a cherished symbol in both brands’ histories. As Mariana Hinestroza and Catalina Álvarez, co-founders of Agua by Agua Bendita, explain in their statement to FashionUnited, “Our brand has always been about celebrating the hands behind the craft. Partnering with Zacapa allows us to merge our dedication to handmade artistry with their legacy of excellence, bringing the beauty of Latin America to a wider audience.”

They continued, “Every stitch and weave in this collection is a testament to artistry, dedication, and the spirit of Latin American roots.”

You can purchase the Agua Bendita & Zacapa collaboration exclusively through luxury e-commerce platform TheBar.com, where the set retails for $510 USD. This premium package offers more than just items—it delivers a sensory experience rooted in authenticity and craftsmanship.

Why This Collaboration Matters

By bringing together two celebrated Latin American brands, the Agua Bendita & Zacapa partnership highlights the power of collaboration across industries. It reminds us that fashion and spirits can both serve as vessels for storytelling, cultural preservation, and innovation.

Moreover, this release appeals to conscious consumers who value quality, heritage, and artistry in every purchase.

A Tribute to Latin American Artistry
