Founder & CEO

VALERIA RUIZ

Born and raised in Colombia, Valeria has always loved the country’s vibrant fashion aesthetic. Combining her love for her country and desire to share Colombian fashion with the world, Valeria created Oasis Del Mar.

All of our pieces are curated from Colombian designers bringing bright prints and patterns to our swimwear and resort pieces. With her brand, Valeria seeks to empower the artisans behind the scenes, shine a light on high quality sustainable bathing suits made with eco fabrics, and expose the uniqueness and beauty of Colombia’s fashion.

Vacation mind-set

mission

Oasis Del Mar focuses on the idea of living your life with a vacation mind-set. During a vacation, you are the best version of yourself. You wear your best outfits, meet new people, and spend time reconnecting with nature. You allow things to unfold organically, go with the flow and unplug and give yourself time with your thoughts. You are present and focus on the people around you. You move differently, let go of routines and make room for spontaneity. You are adventurous and dare to try new things you wouldn’t normally do. Time is less important, yet valuable. Oasis Del Mar aims to capture that feeling and bring it to you with every one of our garments.

Values

BLISSFULNESS

The Oasis Del Mar woman seeks to live in pure blissfulness at all times. She doesn’t get stuck in the monotony of everyday life and enjoys going with the flow. Through uncertainty, she adjusts to continue being her absolute best self.

Be bold

Being bold, and knowing what she wants, the Oasis Del Mar woman knows what she likes and is unapologetic about her choices. She is adventurous and is not afraid of new experiences as she knows these experiences help her continuously grow.

ENJOY THE JOURNEY

There is nothing like being and living in the moment, and appreciating every part of your journey. Being present and focusing on everything around you is essential to the Oasis woman in making sure she’s able to experience everything to her full potential.

Love the Earth, Shop consciously

sustainability

You will find that most of the swimwear we carry is Eco-Friendly, made with eco-fabrics obtained from recycled plastic bottles collected in Colombia. This eco process of transforming plastic bottles into swimsuits, uses less water and energy, and contributes to less CO2 emissions. Each piece is made with the highest quality, passion, responsibility, and love, from us to you.
