The owner/designer, Kata, and her amazing seamstresses created my beautiful wedding dress within days during my recent stay to the area. She chose a combination of material that I would have never thought of, and worked with me to create the relaxed, elegant dress I had in mind. I really didn't have a "vision" per se, as designing does not... More

While in Costa Rica with friends and family, I was looking for a swimsuit and came across Papaya Con Leche. The customer service was exceptional and the low key feel of the store made me feel comfortable enough to try on and model several suits. I found the one for me and was given individual attention that made the experience... More

We were recommended to this shop to buy a bathing suit for my teenaged daughter,imagine my surprise when mom found one too! Aly was very helpful finding suits to compliment each of us. Paid less than we did in swimsuit stores in Canada and these are handmade, good quality. Looking forward to the website launch.

I have always had trouble buying bikinis for my body type and the girls at Papaya Con Leche made the experience wonderful! They have great styles and prints and are so in tune to what works well for whom. I have never found a store in the USA this on the ball! Will definately go back!"

I returned to buy a second bathing suit from Kata because I had been so pleased with the first one she made for me. Unfortunately, when the suit arrived, it just did not work as I had hoped. Kata allowed me to return or exchange it, over a year later, at no expense or inconvenience to me. **note: my purchases... More

My wife needed a new swimsuit for surfing and this shop delivered. The staff was friendly and the selection was awesome. We ended up buying two suits (because my wife liked and looked awesome in both) and a skirt. Now back in the Seattle area she still wears her swimsuits and they remind us of our wonderful time in Costa... More
