Our Story & Founders

.Alcatraz Swimwear was founded by the Colombian mother-daughter duo, Maria Salazar Nicholls and Juliana Rodriguez Salazar almost a decade ago. Started in their own workshop in Southamerica, now Alcatraz is present internationally with warehouses in the United States.

Pd. On the right is our first picture ever launching our brand! back in the day!

Alcatraz Swimwear is a brand for real women who are not necessarily beauty stereotypes. This brand was built with the intention of giving you the sense of freedom as the waves in deep waters and bringing out the shining light each women has inside as the bright sunsets.

Alcatraz women are free, exceptionally beautiful from the inside, celebrating unique beauty in all forms. #alcasquad is our hashtag.

“Made with love from the middle of the world”

Our Mission and Vision

- The mission of Alcatraz Swimwear is to highlight the true values of the woman and her family as a whole. We create workplaces for low-income Ecuadorian mothers and give them a proper wage with extra incentives in order to support their families.

- Our vision is to reflect our charming and vibrant Latin American culture through our unique and high quality pieces in international markets.

This is the reason why all of our swimwear is handmade with love in our own workshop located just in the middle of the world: Quito-Ecuador.
