The Only Summer Shoes You’ll Need: Why We’re Obsessed with Carmen Sol

At Sand Dollar Dubai, we are always looking for ways that we can be more environmentally friendly, and this extends to the brands we love to support too. Cue Carmen Sol!!

With an effortless elegance, Carmen Sol was born from a desire to redefine resort fashion - merging timeless Mediterranean style with a sustainable mindset. The brand takes its name from one of the founders, Carmen Sol Espejo. Her husband, Sebastiano Di Bari, is the other half of the dynamic duo, and together they opened their first boutique in 2005 on the beaches of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

Each piece is made in Italy from a 100% recyclable, vegan, non-toxic Italian jelly material that is completely free from harmful phthalates. The Carmen Sol range is not only stylish and soft to the touch but also resistant to sand, saltwater, and sun exposure - perfect for Dubai’s vibrant beach culture!

To make the experience even more luxurious, every Carmen Sol piece is delicately infused with a light rose scent, so you can enjoy a subtle hint of fragrance with every wear.

Carmen Sol proves you don’t have to sacrifice style for sustainability - you can have both.
