Our friends from Laguna Beach Club have been involved in the development of the new Mexico and Chichen Itza sim (sponsored by the Tourism Board of Mexico) and asked Namiko Surf Co. for a Mayan-themed release… so here we have the Maya Bikini and Jewelry sets. Five colours, three different bikini bottoms to switch up, anklets, bracelets, earrings, and necklaces!

Now available at all shops in-world… or see it up close and personal at the Mexico sim!

Happy Wednesday,
Keala
