Each of their bikinis or swimsuits is made to accompany you, not to disguise you: cuts that respect the natural shape of the body, fabrics that embrace without squeezing, geometric prints that don’t aim to grab attention but instead reflect your way of enjoying those longed-for holidays.

Their designs carry that elegant, effortless vibe we all love: soft lines, colors that connect with the landscape (blues, earth tones, coral), and more understated options in black or white for those who prefer a minimalist look with character.

Bikini Aldara - RED POINT

In a sea of collections seemingly made just for the photo op, Red Point designs with real women in mind — real vacations, long afternoons, and bodies that move, laugh, stretch out in the sun, and get up for another iced coffee.

The yellow-sand streets, the lights strung across the sky, the laughter spilling out of the casetas, and the paper lanterns dancing in the wind — the atmosphere wraps around everything. There’s something unique, something special about it: a blend of music, tradition, and joy that touches you the moment you step onto the fairgrounds.

It’s hard to explain to someone who’s never been what it feels like to be at the Feria. Because it’s not just a party — it’s a way of being in the world, a celebration of what’s ours, a tribute to the beauty of both the big and small moments. From the carefully styled hair to the last ruffle on the dress.

And then there's the flamenco dress: that gypsy-inspired gown chosen with care, dreamed about, tried on again and again. An embroidered shawl, flowers high up in the hair, and lips painted red... Suddenly, nothing more is needed — just let yourself go. Walk the streets with confidence, an open smile, and a fan in hand. Hear a sevillana and feel the urge to dance, even if your feet miss a step.

Run into friends, toast with manzanilla, and lose all sense of time. The Feria de Abril has something magical. And if you're lucky enough to experience it, even just once, you'll only wish to return again and again.

There is a time of year when the South awakens from its golden slumber and dresses up for celebration. A different air flows through the plazas, the cobbled streets, the corners filled with lime and jasmine: it’s fair season.

In Seville, the night lights up with a breath held in anticipation. The alumbrao bathes the main gate in light, and the entire city gathers around the first toast, the first laughs, the first fried pescaito that marks the beginning of the happiest days of the year. Beneath a sky of trembling lanterns, joy doesn’t walk—it gallops. The casetas open like doors to another world, where time dissolves in clapping hands and sevillanas, where every step is a celebration.

Further along, in Jerez, locals and guests move to a different rhythm. The air is scented with wine, horses gleam under the sun, and art—the kind carried in the skin—is unleashed without asking for permission. The fair isn’t celebrated—it’s lived, it’s shared, it’s danced. The bustle is a hymn and the silence, a whisper of guitars echoing with emotion.

A delicate brooch at the shoulder adds a subtle touch of movement, like a quiet flower catching the breeze. Paired with neutral-toned accessories — soft yet confident — the look comes together without ever feeling overdone.

It’s a style that doesn’t need excess to shine — it already carries the best accessories of all: personality, freshness, and sophistication.

Perhaps that’s why her pieces don’t feel new or old—they’re simply timeless. When you’re near them, you understand that their value doesn’t lie in their price, but in what they evoke. Looking at her designs, you get that rare feeling: when you know you’re in front of something special, even if you can’t quite put it into words. As if the object knew something about you that you haven’t discovered yet, as if it chose you—and from that moment on, became part of your family, generation after generation.

That’s what Platonic’s jewels carry. They’re not meant to match a blouse or complete an outfit. They’re meant to remind you of something, to anchor you to a moment, to whisper an emotion in the midst of so much chaos. And maybe that’s the most beautiful thing of all: they’re not made to impress, but to move you. Like a handwritten letter. Like a song playing softly. Like a treasure you don’t want to show too much—for fear it might stop being yours.
