2. Curated Inquiries (FAQ)

Size & Fit

  • How do I find my perfect fit? Everybody is unique. We provide a detailed Size Guide on each product page. If you are between sizes, we recommend considering the desired level of compression and coverage.
  • Can I try it on? We encourage you to experience the fit at home. Please wear personal undergarments during try-ons and keep the hygienic liner intact.

Shipping & Logistics

  • Where do you ship? We ship worldwide from our Los Angeles studio. Please note that international orders may be subject to local duties and taxes, which are the responsibility of the recipient.
  • How can I track my order? Once your piece has been dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number.

Hygienic Safety

  • Why can’t I return an item without the liner? For hygiene and safety reasons, swimwear bottoms and one-pieces must be returned with the hygienic liner intact and untampered with. This helps us protect every customer who shops with SUM5TH.

3. Mindful Care (Product Longevity)

To preserve the high-quality texture and elasticity of your SUM5th pieces, we recommend the following:

  • Washing: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent after each use to remove salt, chlorine, or sand.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause colors to fade over time.
  • Texture Protection: Avoid rough surfaces (such as concrete pool edges) to prevent snagging the delicate fabric.

4. Wholesale & Collaborations
