About

What is Swikinis?

Swikinis where fashion meets innovation under the glistening sun. Established in 2017, Swikinis is the pioneer in translucent swimwear, allowing you to bask in the sun and achieve that coveted sun-kissed glow without tan lines.

 Is  Swikinis in retail stores?

No, not currently. Our products are available exclusively online through our website. This allows us to have international customers, keep our costs down and prices affordable, and take advantage of new technologies.

Is  Swikinis environmentally responsible?

We try to be. The fashion and apparel industry is notoriously wasteful, though that's changing with new technology. The Swikinis team operates with low carbon footprints in our own environments - each working remotely rather than commuting to a central location - and we only consume or print what is essential, which is why we chose to create a fashion brand where everything is custom made-to-order - we have no waste.

The suppliers we’ve chosen to work with are also environmentally conscious, implementing socially responsible initiatives like LED lighting, recycling programs for paper, plastic and glass, use low-energy printers, have low-water-use production methods, only print with water-based - and Zero Waste Ultraviolet (UV) - inks, that are biodegradable, non-toxic, free from heavy metals and formaldehyde, and are certified by the United States Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) and GREENGUARD Gold Certified.

Products

Where are your products made?

We manufacture our products in two places with dedicated suppliers - the United States and Europe - and depending on where you are in the world, you may receive an item from either of these locations. Our manufacturing process includes custom printing, embroidery, precision fabric cutting, and detailed hand-sewing. 

What type of printing process do you use?

Depending on the item, we use four types of printing process: Tie-dye,Foil print,laser,holographic,Hot print sequin,Digital print,Embossing,Acid wash.

Will the printing fade?

Our All-Over Print Cut & Sew garments such as Leggings, Print Tops, Sports Bras, Shorts, and Sweatshirts will never fade or peel, even after many washes. 

How does your clothing fit?

Each item is unique in terms of how it fits. We’ve included a short FIT description on each product page and this will give you a basic idea of how it should fit. Each product page also has a detailed Size Chart, in inches and centimetres, that you should refer to before selecting your size. If you're uncertain about the proper size, send an email to info@becolife.com with the products you're interested in purchasing along with your measurements - Height, Weight, Bra Size, Bust, Waist, Hips - and whether you prefer a Tight or Loose fit, and we'll reply with a size recommendation.

How should I care for my clothing?

In general, we suggest that you wash your garment inside-out by hand in cold water and lay flat or hang to dry. Never use bleach, never iron all-over print garments or printed graphics, and never dry clean. Tags in each garment will also provide you with care instructions.

Do you charge sales taxes?

Our prices include all sales taxes applicable to your location. This includes but is not limited to United States state and local tax, European Union VAT, Canada GST / PST / HST, Australia GST, or GST / VAT / TVA / IVA in many other countries. Note: As of January 1st 2021, due to Brexit, orders to the UK of less than £135 GBP / $180 USD include VAT; orders greater than £135 GBP do not include VAT, which you will pay along with customs duties to receive your parcel.

Will there be additional international duties, taxes and customs charges?

If you live outside the USA, most likely yes, and we do not cover these charges. Every country has different regulations on how they handle imported goods; we’re unable to provide you with an estimate of what these charges may be for your particular country. We recommend you visit SimplyDuty.com to get an estimate of what you may be charged when your package arrives. Canadian orders will see an option during the checkout process to select a shipping method called Standard DDP, which stands for “Delivered Duty Paid,” and includes both the shipping cost and customs charges.
