Maygel Coronel in Cartagena: Sculptural Swimwear for a Caribbean Wardrobe
Some links may earn Jet Set LatAm a commission at no additional cost to you. Recommendations remain editorially independent.
Cartagena dresses in color, sea light and confident femininity. Against its coral façades and Caribbean horizon, Maygel Coronel’s sculptural swimwear feels less like a vacation extra and more like the beginning of the entire wardrobe.
A Cartagena-born point of view
Maygel Coronel founded her namesake label in Cartagena de Indias in 2017. The house describes its woman as global, Latin and contemporary, using clean modernist lines, vivid color and expressive volume to translate the city’s tropical energy into pieces that move naturally between water and street.
Cartagena’s historic center, recognized by UNESCO and wrapped by eight kilometers of walls, gives the collection its ideal setting. Begin with our Fashion Strolls guide for the editorial spirit behind this series, then bring the same slow-looking approach to Cartagena.
The pieces to notice
Look for asymmetric necklines, artful cutouts, hand-shaped florals and ruffles with architectural volume. The strongest pieces work beyond the beach: a one-piece becomes a bodysuit beneath wide-leg trousers; a sculptural top pairs with a fluid skirt; a dramatic cover-up carries dinner with little more than earrings and sandals.
The label says its swimwear is made by hand using conscious practices and locally sourced Colombian materials. Check the current product page for composition, fit and care, and order early enough to allow for international delivery.
The Jet Set LatAM styling edit
Choose one saturated color and let Cartagena supply the rest. Pair a sculptural suit with ivory linen, a woven bag and gold jewelry for the Walled City; add a silk sarong and flat leather sandals for the Rosario Islands. In the evening, keep the same suit as a base and add a long skirt, polished hair and a compact clutch.
Build the look in Luxe Jetter

Why it belongs on the itinerary
Maygel Coronel captures the confidence of Cartagena without reducing it to a postcard. These are pieces with presence, designed for sun but sophisticated enough to follow you into the city.
