The only brand I buy bikinis from

The only brand I buy bikinis from! Being quite petite, it's always been hard to find swimwear that fits :(
But these are perfect. I always get compliments from friends when I wear them!

I’ve reached out to customer service a few times since I've found them (about restock dates and exchanges), and they’ve always replied within 24 hours and been super helpful.

Shocking experience.

Shocking experience.
I purchased this swimsuit back in March (it’s June now), and not only did they charge me over £50 in taxes as I live in the UK, but the size was also not right. Not because I bought a different size than usual—I have never worn a size bigger than S in my whole life for a bikini—so it’s their sizing system that doesn’t work, as the S was honestly a kid’s size. They make you pay to ship back your item and do not offer a free exchange, but only a voucher that’s worth less than your swimsuit—and then you have to pay shipping again (in and out of the EU). Honestly, beware. There are so many better brands out there.

Hi Sofia, we offer both credit or refund on our EU store in line with EU polices. Please return your order for refund to the USA address provided and you can also request a refund from customs after your original order has been refunded. The store credit issued will be to the value of the items as purchased - eg if you used a 15% off code on store the store credit will be to the value of the goods minus 15%.

Marketing machine with poor customer service

I am really dissapointed about this brand. Making a lot of money with marketing and poor customer ‘service’, congrats!

First of all.. the sizes are really small. I have cup 75A and the size S top was wayyy to small and tight. If your purchase doesnt fit, they offer storecredit by default. But (in Europe at least) customers have the right to return the purchase for money back, also in sale. There was also no return adress on the website at the time I bought the bikini.

After I pointed this out by e-mail, I got a returnadress to some place in Germany. No return label. Had to pay for it myself. But hey, I paid over a 150 euro’s for a bikini, so what’s another 15?
Only to find out its not a real adress and my package got stuck, because of the non existing return policy. Package doesn’t get send back to me eighter because of the costs of international delivery. Sommer Swim gives no explaination, just silence.
Sommerswimm: + 150 euro’s - customer: -165. And no bikini. Sketchy.

So, take a chance and hope the bikini fits perfectly, otherwise: say bye to your money.

Hi Maria, if you ordered within the EU you can return your parcel to the German address which is provided in the return approval. If you ordered from outside the EU then you need to return to the USA return address as detailed in the return instructions. If you have returned to Germany from outside the EU, then you didn't follow the instructions and will need to follow up with the carrier to have the parcel returned to you as German customs will not deliver a parcel without customs duties. We have many UK customers and this is a smooth process if the instructions are followed.

Quick delivery - super cool bikinis!

Quick delivery and the bikinis are so cool - special fits and amazing colours that you don’t see everywhere! I think the fit is rather small, so I would size up a bit. Customer support was super helpful and replied quickly. I am ready for the beach now!

Just buy, you wont regret it!

Exceptional service every time! Most recently I had a package go missing and they expedited a replacement right away with express shipping!

I have over 10 sets from Sommer Swim. I find they run true to size. I’m usually an L in clothes and the L from Sommer swim fits perfect! I do like my swimmies minimal coverage so it’s always a hit for me! 😆 Also the quality is top notch. They have easily become my most favorite and most bought swim brand.

Can’t wait to wear them on my trip!

Sarah deserves a shout out! She’s the one that has helped me and answered all my questions every time. Thanks Sarah! 💞

Not responding when emailing about returning an iteam

a bikini I purchased earlier this year. Unfortunately, the size wasn’t right, so I contacted your team within the return/exchange period to request a size swap. I’ve followed up multiple times via email but have yet to receive any response.

I paid over $200 for this bikini, and I now have an item that I can’t wear. I’m extremely disappointed with the lack of communication and support — especially given the price point and your usual brand reputation.

At this stage, I would really appreciate either a proper exchange for the correct size or a refund. I’ve made every effort to resolve this within your stated timeframe and just want a fair outcome.

Surely a scam

Surely a scam - Say Large is a D but it's not at all but your portal only lets me return for store credit despite paying full price and the bikini in the new collection. This must be a scam. Legally you have the right to return and get a refund especially when your sizes are wrong. I even sent a pic showing my bra next to bikini top which shows it's like half the size

Hi Csilla, your parcel was a delivered and likely the delay was due to unpaid customs. The tracking link was sent at the time of dispatch.

Dreadful, item not received, hidden import taxes & fighting for refund!

Dreadful - didn't get to receive the item even after paying £58 unexpected import duties on one bikini! Sommer swim recalled the item a month ago evidenced by DHL - and have still not received the refund! so disappointing

Hi Steve, we did not recall your item your item was Returned to Sender due to you not paying the customs duties for 1 week after the item arrived in the UK. You can check the tracking which states "return to sender" occurred before you paid the customs duties. Unfortunately DHL will return parcels if import duties are left unpaid, and we request they return them to sender if this is a case rather than DHL express destroying the parcel. Additionally there is no hidden import charge, our EU store ships from the EU and our polices and a note at checkout state the UK as an international country.

Very disappointed I tried the bikini…

Very disappointed I tried the bikini over my clothes as you should. It ran too small for me. I returned the bikini after having to have my housemate print the return slip out for me because who has a printer these days. I then receive an email once they had received saying it had a weird smell and it looked like it had been worn. When really I had put it back in the packaging that was supplied and there was no smell. I feel like it’s a cheeky way just not return my money. Will never recommend this company.

Hey Alex, if we could add this back to inventory we would have been so happy to and issue a store credit. If an item isn't in new condition per our policies unfortunately we have strict hygiene standards and will need to return the items. Any rejected items are immediately returned to the customer.

Best luxury bikinis !!

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a product from Sommer Swim, and I must say it truly lives up to the definition of luxury. The quality of the fabric is exceptional, and the attention to detail in every finishing touch is remarkable. Not only is the product a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship, but the customer service is also personalized and attentive, making every interaction delightful. I have become an enthusiastic fan of the brand and am already looking forward to my next purchase. Sommer Swim is a clear standout for anyone seeking top-tier, luxurious swimwear.
I have 56 kg and 1,70cm and my size is M tops and S bottoms.

Excellent Customer Service Experience

I recently ordered swim bottoms in a size SM (which is my usual size in Sommer Swims bottoms) & they turned out to be way to small. I was surprised when I went to send back my bottoms that the price to return them was $15. This upset me considering the price of the bottoms are already expensive, and I was returning them with the intent to exchange, so I assumed I would be provided with a shipping label that covered the cause. This frustrated me, so I reached out to customer service.

Sarah from the customer service team was SO helpful. Not only did she take my request seriously and responded quickly, but she added the amount I paid to ship the bottoms back on to my store credit amount. She did not have to do this being that the store doesn't have an exchange policy, but she did it anyway out of good faith. I have been a Sommer Swim customer for a long time, and I was very pleased with my customer service experience!

I always recommend this brand to friends, and I am so happy that they put the effort in to make this situation right.

My order number is 178402

My order number is 178402. My package has been stuck at the DHL processing at the origin for several days now. After contacting DHL myself, they had informed that the original invoice is missing and they can't process the shipment until that is recieved by the sender (sommer swim) I have contacted regarding this several times and even after 5 days, it still shows the shipment is on hold. Can someone from sommer swim PLEASE fix this asap? I had purchased this for a special event and even replacements would not be an option because what I had purchased in my size is now sold out online. So please help!!!

Hi Aysha, the customer care team are liaising with our North American warehouse as indicated in our email responses. International orders can't be sent without invoices, so this invoice was included. We're confident DHL will resolve this soon, and again our warehouse is following up with them. I do apologise that you've experienced a delay and we'll continue to work to have this resolved. Thank you, Sommer Swim.

Hey Katerina, we do apologise sincerely for this. Some of our customer care is located in an area where there was a cyclone and so it's taken a few days for us to get up to date with customer care. We are really sorry that you've had to wait, as generally customers will be responded to within 1 business day. Best, Sommer Swim
