FAQS

FAQs

At Rêve de Rive, each piece is made on demand in our Swiss atelier, crafted individually for you. As such, we are unable to accept returns or offer cash refunds. This is due to the intimate nature of swimwear and our commitment to producing responsibly—every item is made to order and cannot be resold.

We do, however, offer size exchanges to ensure the perfect fit.

Need a different size—or decided on a different piece that suits you better?

Simply contact us at bonjour@revederiveswimwear.com and we’ll assist you with the exchange process. We’ll even provide a complimentary return label and arrange a home collection for your convenience.

In the rare event of a fault or damage, please reach out to us as soon as possible, and we will ensure a swift resolution.

Gifts

If your item was marked as a gift and sent directly to you, your exchange will be issued as a gift credit once we’ve received the item.

We’re here to ensure you feel confident and comfortable in every piece—please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Each Rêve de Rive piece is carefully handmade in our Swiss atelier and undergoes a thorough quality check before leaving our atelier.

In the rare event that your item arrives with a fault, please contact us at bonjour@revederiveswimwear.com with your order number, a brief description, and a clear photo of the issue. Our team will be happy to assist you with a swift resolution.

If your piece was purchased from one of our official stockists or retail partners, we kindly ask that you reach out to them directly, as they will be able to assist you in accordance with their own policies.

We’re committed to ensuring your experience is as seamless as the craftsmanship behind every stitch.

Each Rêve de Rive piece is handcrafted in our Swiss atelier using high-quality Italian fabrics, selected not only for their beauty but also for their durability. With the right care, your piece will retain its fit, feel, and finish for years to come.

To preserve its shape and colour, we recommend the following:

  • Rinse your swimsuit with cold water immediately after each wear.
  • Machine wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle, using a small amount of mild detergent.
  • Wash colours separately. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as they may affect the fabric’s appearance.
  • Never tumble dry or leave your swimsuit to soak.
  • Do not store your swimsuit while damp or inside a closed bag.


Additional care tips:

  1. Heat exposure: Spas, hot tubs, and saunas can compromise both colour and fabric quality. Rinse thoroughly with cold water after use.
  2. Sunscreen: Apply suncream before putting on your swimsuit and allow it to absorb fully. Certain creams can stain or weaken the fabric, especially on lighter colours.
  3. Chlorine, salt and sun: All swimwear fabrics containing elastane may fade or lose elasticity over time when exposed to chlorine, seawater, and direct sunlight. We recommend rotating your swimsuits if worn frequently and following the above steps to prolong their beauty.


These effects are not considered faults but a natural result of wear over time.

You can also refer to the care instructions section on each product page for item-specific guidance.

All Rêve de Rive pieces are designed and handcrafted in our atelier in Geneva, Switzerland.

This is where every sketch begins, fabrics are hand-selected, and silhouettes are brought to life. Our atelier is also home to our creative archive — a carefully preserved collection of past designs that continues to inspire each new season.

It is here that craftsmanship meets innovation, ensuring every piece reflects our commitment to quality, fit, and enduring style.

At Rêve de Rive, sustainability is not a trend — it’s a standard. Every piece is made by hand in our Swiss atelier using certified sustainable practices and 100% regenerated, recycled Italian fabrics.

By producing on demand, we avoid overproduction and unnecessary waste. Our made-to-measure service further reduces returns and ensures each piece is crafted to fit beautifully and last for years to come.

We choose to work slowly and intentionally — designing in small quantities, supporting local artisans, and creating versatile swimwear that adapts to your lifestyle. From spa days in the Alps to evenings in the city, one thoughtfully made piece replaces many.

It’s luxury — with a conscience.

Rêve de Rive is proud to offer Switzerland’s first made-to-measure swimwear and bodysuit service.

Each piece is handcrafted in our Geneva atelier using your personal measurements, ensuring a precise and flattering fit — whether you’re petite, tall, curvy, athletic, or somewhere in between.

You can adjust everything from torso length and cup size to waist, hip, and leg rise. Our team will guide you through the process with care, so your piece not only fits — it feels like it was made for you, because it was.
