Win a bag by abaeté here:competition.

The bag is so-so, but it's for free if you win it hehe... the swimwear from Abaeté is cute though:

the second picture is nice. However, I do not like tote bags, so I won't be entering.

Thanks for sharing

Good to see it's an international contest.

The orange pareo/skirt is ideal for after-beach drinks and such. Too bad it's not available here because it's nicer than the usual swim stuff out there.

They have new pictures up on their website, Abaete.com

"Our Cruise 2005 collection hearkens back to the Bohemian Orient of the 1920's and 30's. The prints are original Abaeté designs, inspired by Japanese stencils of the era, and the silhouettes — like kimono — are cut to drape on the body while revealing the figure through snug waist wraps or the occasional open neckline. The line is full of soft jewel-toned fabrics and adorned with delicate silks and paisleys; its effect is clean lines and quiet sophistication with a sexy, urban edge. Our swimwear line brings us to the sensual side of Asia. These should be worn in the healing hot springs of Kusatsu, or while taking an afternoon dip in the lazy Yangtze River."

I like them (for swim/cruise wear)
