Do I have to pay for my return?
Yes, you are responsible for the shipping costs of your return.
We recommend that you use an insured shipping method. This is the only way you can track the package and make sure it gets to us. Unfortunately, we cannot refund items that are lost on their way back to us. In this case, however, you have a claim for damages against the shipping company you have chosen.

Once we have received and processed your return, we will refund the amount to the payment method you used to make the purchase. If you paid with your credit card, the amount will be returned there. With most credit cards, it may take a little time for the amount to show up on your statement. The open amounts are settled once a month and only appear on your account afterwards. Most of the time, billing is done at the end or on the 15th of the month.
Also with Paypal and other payment providers it can take a few days until the refund is visible on your account.
Duties, taxes and other charges will not be refunded in the event of a return.

SIZES & STYLES
Will a sold out item be available again?
Even if an item or your size is currently sold out, it does not mean that it will no longer be available.
To counteract the problem of overproduction and waste of resources, we intentionally produce in small quantities.
This can lead to a supply bottleneck more quickly, which we will gladly accept in the spirit of sustainability. Please support us in this case with your understanding and patience. The wait will be worth it in the long run for you, for us and for our planet. Thank you!
We are working on integrating an availability tool into our webshop. Then you can leave your e-mail for all products that are produced again, to be notified immediately when they are available again.
At the moment these availability and restock notifications are only available via our NEWSLETTER. Just subscribe to it!
How can I find out about new availabilities (restocks)?
At the moment you can find out about new arrivals and availabilities immediately and directly through our NEWSLETTER. You just have to subscribe to it!
Does a style always turn out the same in its fit?
The same style should always sit the same in all variations and colors. However, this can be somewhat affected by both the use of different fabric qualities and even the dyeing process of the same fabric.
In fact, due to the dyeing process, different colors turn out differently. Light colors are softer and therefore a bit more elastic while dark colors like black and blue are firmer and therefore tighter and feel smaller.
For reasons of hygiene, please always try on our goods with and over your underwear.
How do I find the right size for me?
For reasons of hygiene, please always try on our goods with and over your underwear.
To help you decide which size is right for you, please refer to our size chart. In addition, you can find helpful fit information directly on the respective product page.
When dry, our models must fit like a second skin, snugly when tried on. In the water, the fit relaxes and gives a little. When dry, it then sits like a second skin again.
Still unsure about the size choice?
Feel free to send us your measurements for individual size consultation.
Either by e-mail: [email protected] or via our contact form.
Materials
What material is used for TIPI BEACH beach & swimwear?
TIPI BEACH swimwear is sewn exclusively from Carvico’s high-quality Italian fabric VITA, which is made of 78% ECONYL® regenerated nylon and 22% spandex.
ECONYL® regenerated nylon is derived from 100% nylon waste, transforming waste problems into sustainable solutions.
More precisely, ECONYL® consists of 50% post-consumer nylon waste, such as fishing nets and carpet lint, and 50% pre-consumer nylon waste, such as industrial plastics.
You’ll love our fabric for its versatility and comfort as much as we do. Thanks to its innovative design, it is twice as resistant to chlorine and salt water, as well as sunscreens and oils, than other fabrics. It also offers you a high shape retention and a very high sun protection (UPF 50+).
All our fabrics and components are certified to Oekotex® 100 standard, which means they are free of harmful and toxic chemicals.

Care tips
How do I properly care for my TIPI BEACH treasures?
It is very important to us that you enjoy your TIPI BEACH treasure for a long time and that it remains beautiful for many years!
Please wash your TIPI BEACH swimwear therefore best by hand. Rarely in the washing machine and highest at 30 degrees on the delicate cycle. Use environmentally friendly mild detergent. To avoid microplastic waste, we recommend you use a GUPPYFRIEND wash bag.
If possible, rinse your TIPI BEACH darling thoroughly with clear water directly after bathing in salt or chlorinated water. After that, please dry in partial shade and not in direct sun, so that the colors and fibers are protected. Longer enjoyment of your treasure is thus guaranteed.
