Earlier this year, Divino Seas, which is based in Miami, debuted the matching 'rosa' bikini top and bottom on their website.

Rosa Parks was an American civil rights activist who famously refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in December 1955 - sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which protested segregated seating on public transport. The description continues: 'In honor of Rosa Parks, DivinoSeas has included this artesian [sic] inspired salute to haute couture in the domain of luxury swimwear.
