FAQ

What are the differences between the Corduroy and Solid Collection?

Our Corduroy items are reversible. They have a corduroy (ribbed) side that makes the products more suited to wear underneath your regular clothing. The other side has a print to it, to highlight your wild side ;). We provide the following colors:

Corduroy White - matched with the print Monkey business (with green leaves) Corduroy Dark blue - matched with the print Monkey business (with dark blue leaves) Corduroy Light blue - matched with the print Leopard (with an orange background) Corduroy Red - matched with the print Leopard (with a pink background)

Our Solid collection is not reversible. These items are suitable for a more basic beach look and comes in the following colors: red, black and white.

Which size should I choose?

Our products are true to size for Dutch/German sizes, so you can order the size you usually wear. Deviations from the size are mentioned in the product information in our shop. If you have sizing or styling issues, we are really (!) happy to help you out and answer questions in any way we can 🙂 Do not hesitate to contact us about that at all, you’ll receive our honest opinion. Send your questions to stylingandsizing@barbarossabay.com.

Can I buy a bikini top and bottom separately, even though they are pictured together?

YES! We love for you to mix and match and pick whatever style you like. You prefer an Abi bottom with a Lottie top? Good for you! If you like to buy a Corduroy Midnight Blue with a Corduroy Red, fine as well. Just keep in mind that our colors are matched with their own patterns, so if you buy different colors, the patterns might not match. However, whatever you wish to buy – it’s up to you!
