Our Story

BEACH & BANDITS is a seaside based children’s swimwear brand, born out of a love for long summer days on the beach and motivated by the desire to create cool and comfortable children’s swimwear that looks and feels great but, most importantly, is protective of children’s delicate skin whilst out in the sun. 

The brand was founded in 2014 by Hans and Jo-anne in The Netherlands. Together with their three little bandits they spend most of the time on the beach. They wanted their kids to be safe in the sun, but also to look cool. In their search for cool & comfortable sun-safe swimwear, they got frustrated at the lack of these available. So they started a journey and set out on a mission. BEACH & BANDITS was born and believes that UPF50+ swimwear can be cool, comfortable and sun-safe at the same time!

BEACH & BANDITS swimwear is all created using a high quality fabric that provides UPF50+ protection, which blocks over 97,5% of the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays. This high quality fabric comes in a range of cool BEACH & BANDITS hand drawn illustrations. With our fresh prints, crisp colors, cool quotes and comfortable designs we want to capture your little bandits imagination and encourage their wanderlust. But above all, we want to keep them safe in the sun. 

With the sunny climate in the Middle East we felt the urge to import this lovely brand.  Swimwear is an everyday need in our region. Be careful with the sun and still be able to play daily in the pool or near the beach is possible!

We ensure that the swimwear has the functionality that parents (like us) want, UV protection, lightweight, breathable and quick drying without compromising on style. BEACH & BANDITS UPF50+ swimwear will have your little bandits all set for their next salty adventure.

“We keep them safe, they keep us wild!”
