Returns fees are estimates and can fluctuate based on exchange rate.
What is your return policy for international orders
We accept international returns. Items must be unworn, unwashed, in their original condition and with all tags attached. Items marked Final Sale cannot be returned.
Not eligible for a Return or an Exchange: accessories, hats, items purchased on sale or as a part of a promotion, including any item purchased as a part of 'HOLIDAY PROMOS, BLACK FRIDAY, CYBER MONDAY, FLASH SALES, and SECRET SALES.'

What is a pre-order item and when will it ship?
Pre-orders are advance purchases that secure your spot for highly sought-after items before they arrive at our warehouse. It’s a great way to guarantee that an item will not be sold out upon arrival at our store. The specified pre-order date or time frame indicates when we anticipate receiving the item.
For example, if the pre-order date is set for early June, we expect the item to arrive within the first 1-2 weeks of June, with shipping shortly thereafter.
PRE-ORDER TIME FRAMES: EARLY:
Week 1-2
MID: Week 2-3
LATE: Week 3-4
CAN THE TIME FRAME BE DELAYED OR CHANGE?
While we're doing everything in our control to ensure your item reaches you within the time frame, unforeseen circumstances like weather conditions, customs clearance, and carrier delays can happen. If there's any switch in the timeline, our customer service team will get in touch, providing updated shipping time frames. If the new date isn't convenient for you, we're more than happy to assist in swapping it out for an available in-stock style.

Additional Questions
How should I care for my swimsuit?
To maintain the pristine condition of your swimsuit, we recommend hand washing it separately with cold water and a gentle soap after each use. Avoid soaking and dry it in the shade. Do not pack wet suits with other garments and avoid keeping them balled up, especially when wet. Please refrain from dry cleaning and minimize contact with sunscreens, oils, chlorine, and rough surfaces to prevent fading and damage to the fabric. For sanitary reasons, we ask that you try on items over underwear.
WE RECOMMEND PLANT BASED DETERGENT FOR LONGER LASTING COLOR
