GABRIELA BERLINGERI EXPANDS DICIEMBREVEINTINUEVE’S CREATIVE UNIVERSE WITH FIRST-EVER SWIMWEAR COLLECTION, D29 SWIM

Gabriela Berlingeri, Puerto Rican designer, creative, and founder of DiciembreVeintinueve (D29), introduces a powerful new dimension to her ever-evolving brand with the launch of D29 Swim—the brand’s first-ever swimwear collection. Known for its timeless, handcrafted jewelry rooted in culture and emotional depth, DiciembreVeintinueve now expands its artistry into swimwear, marking a defining moment in the brand’s ongoing journey of creative exploration. D29 Swim is available now at www.diciembre29.com.
The debut collection’s theme is titled “Lo que esconde el sol”, marking the beginning of a new chapter for DiciembreVeintinueve by officially introducing swimwear into its portfolio. Inspired by the iconic Sontse Necklace—the piece that first brought widespread recognition to the brand—this collection weaves together D29’s most beloved elements into a new medium. “Lo que esconde el sol” interprets the sunset as more than just the natural close of the day. Through its vibrant handmade print and evocative silhouettes, it becomes a metaphor for the people, places, and memories that give life meaning. From this perspective, the sunset is not an ending, but a reminder of everything worth holding close.

This first swimwear offering introduces 12 thoughtfully named styles—including Mimi, Ydana, Neva, Lirio, Alei, Ria, Venus, Cito, Narin, Biba, the Ragma One Piece, and the Amapola One Piece—each evoking a sense of identity, emotion, and intention. Whether it’s the delicate femininity of Lirio or the strength behind Ragma, every silhouette is a reflection of DiciembreVeintinueve’s deep connection to culture, craftsmanship, and the power of naming as a form of storytelling.
“This collection is a celebration of growth,” says Gabriela Berlingeri, founder and CEO of DiciembreVeintinueve. “It represents a new era for DiciembreVeintinueve—an expansion that still carries our heart, our history, and our island in every detail.”
Much like the jewelry that built D29’s loyal community, D29 Swim offers a balance of style, functionality, and heritage. Each silhouette is meant to be worn with confidence, movement, and purpose, whether on the shores of Puerto Rico or far beyond. With this release, DiciembreVeintinueve solidifies its standing not just as a jewelry brand, but as a lifestyle label redefining the space where fashion and emotion seamlessly blend together.
