El tío Ryan is ready for the summer! Following his successful year, Ryan Castro has now stepped in as a creative director for Agua Bendita, fully co-creating and shaping everything from the design to the campaign. The result is the 2026 collection AWAA that combines Ryan’s signature “AWOO” with “AGUA”—the core inspiration behind Agua Bendita—symbolizing the fusion of both worlds and blends Agua Bendita’s artisanal craftsmanship with bold color, graphic blocking and a sense of movement. 

This new collection unveils more than 40 dazzling pieces of swimwear, ready-to-wear ensembles, and striking accessories for both men and women and it’s available starting on Wednesday (March 26). Each item is a testament to meticulous artistry, handcrafted techniques—such as delicate embroidery that demands over 16 hours of skilled labor.

Crochet elements twist and weave throughout the collection, while vibrant splashes of color and florals create a visual blend with rich textures reminiscent of sun-warmed sand and sea breezes. If these pieces could speak, their voices would sing of golden Caribbean sunsets and pulse with the infectious rhythm of tracks like “Sanka” and “Bombastik <3,” transporting you instantly to a world where tropical warmth, music and fashion join in perfect harmony.

Adding to the ongoing, vibrant narrative of the playful “bromance” between Ryan Castro and J Balvin—a friendship that has already given fans their high-energy joint release “Tonto” this year—Ryan is set to turn up the heat this season with a brand new single alongside J Balvin, titled “Pal Agua.”
