FAQs

WILL SOLD OUT SIZES BE RESTOCKED?

Most Sandy Bottom collections are produced in intentionally limited quantities.

Once a style or colour sells out, it is usually not restocked.

Our goal is to continually introduce new collections rather than mass produce existing ones, allowing every purchase to remain rare and exclusive.

If you find a style you love, we recommend purchasing it while it's available.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE?

Our swimsuits are designed for a sculpted, flattering fit.

Every Sandy Bottom piece is a little different, and so is its fit. To make sure you select the right size, each product page includes a size guide tailored specifically to that style. Please refer to the size guide on the individual product page before ordering.

If you're between sizes or unsure which size to choose, we're happy to help.

Simply email sales@sandybottomswimwear.com with your:

  • Bust
  • Underbust
  • Waist
  • Hips
  • Torso Length

We'd much rather help you choose the right size before you order than have you go through the return process afterward.

WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?

Return requests must be initiated within 10 days of delivery by emailing sales@sandybottomswimwear.com with your order number. Once approved, your return must be received within 20 days of your original delivery date.

Return eligibility is based on the total discount applied to each item, including discount codes, sitewide sales and promotional offers:

  • Full price or less than 20% off: Eligible for a refund to your original payment method
  • 20–30% off: Eligible for return for store credit only
  • 31% off or more: Final sale and cannot be returned
  • Archive Collection: Final sale and cannot be returned

To be eligible for a return, items must be unworn and unwashed, tried on over underwear, with the hygienic liner and original tags intact, and returned in their original packaging.

Customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless an item arrived damaged or we shipped the incorrect item.

Once your return has been received, inspected and approved, refunds or store credit are issued within 5–7 business days.

For complete details, including return shipping instructions and final sale exclusions, please review our full Return & Refund Policy.

DO YOU OFFER EXCHANGES?

At this time, we do not offer exchanges.

Because our collections are produced in small batches and sizes often sell out quickly, we recommend returning your eligible item for a refund and placing a new order for your preferred size or style.

This gives you the best chance of securing the piece you want before it sells out.

WHAT ITEMS ARE FINAL SALE?

The following items are final sale and cannot be returned, refunded, exchanged or returned for store credit:

  • Items discounted by 31% or more
  • Items receiving a total discount of 31% or more through a discount code, sitewide sale, automatic promotion or other promotional offer
  • Items purchased from our Archive Collection
  • Accessories, including jewellery, sandals, bandanas, sarongs, scarves, pashminas, towels, hats, handbags, sunglasses and beauty products

Items discounted between 20% and 30% are not final sale, but are eligible for return for store credit only.

Where applicable, final sale items are clearly identified on the product page before purchase.

DO YOU OFFER PRICE ADJUSTMENTS?

We’re unable to offer price adjustments on previous purchases. Prices and promotions may change from time to time, and discounts cannot be applied retroactively once an order has been placed.

Promotional offers are valid only during the advertised promotional period and cannot be combined with other offers unless otherwise stated.

CAN I CANCEL OR CHANGE MY ORDER?

If you need to cancel or change your order, please contact us immediately at sales@sandybottomswimwear.com.

We'll always do our best to accommodate your request. However, our Customer Service and Order Fulfillment teams operate independently and may be working on different schedules.

Proper care will help preserve the fit, colour and craftsmanship of your swimsuit.
