Sheila FAQS

Sheila loves a yarn. So if you can’t find an answer to your question below, contact us.

SIZING, FABRIC AND CARE

  1. To find your perfect size, please refer to the size guide, along with any fit notes contained within the product page.

    Our swimsuits are designed to be supportive and comfortable. So if your measurements put you between two different sizes, we would generally suggest sizing down—but you should go up or down depending on your fit preferences.

    If you like your swimwear to fit snugly and to feel more compressive, pick the smaller size. If you like a more relaxed and comfortable fit with room for body shape fluctuations, go for the larger size. 

    In most cases, we’d advise to opt for the smaller size—swimwear looks best when it fits snugly, in our opinion!

  2. Our online store is the only place in the world to buy original Sheila swimwear. We may host pop-up stores in the future—to know when and where you can stay up to date through our email subscription and social media pages! 

  3. So you can swim-wear forever, we recommend washing your Sheila pieces in cold water with similar colours and drying them flat in the shade. If you can, avoid rough surfaces and high levels of chlorine.

    Detailed care instructions can be found on the product page.

  4. Sustainability is important to us! That’s why we have selected a luxuriously thick and supportive recycled nylon made from waste that is otherwise polluting the earth—including fishing nets, carpets, abandoned textiles, and plastic waste. The regenerated nylon is formed through a process of sorting, cleaning, regeneration and purification. The processing occurs in accordance with the Global Recycling Standard, and is certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX.

    • Main: 75% Recycled Nylon, 25% Elastane
    • Lining: 80% Recycled Nylon, 20% Elastane
