Beach & Bandits was born from our love for long summer days at the beach. Our mission? To create cool and comfortable UV swimwear (UPF50+) that protects children from the sun.

Our journey began more than 10 years ago in 2015, when we, Hans & Jo-anne, noticed that stylish, protective swimwear for children was hardly available. As parents of three kids who prefer to spend their free time at the beach, we knew that this could be done differently. And so, Beach & Bandits was born!

What started with just 9 items has now grown into a global brand with 175 items per season. Our swimwear not only offers maximum protection but also lets children shine in summery colors, playful prints, and quirky texts. Thanks to the lightweight, breathable, quick-drying fabrics and UPF50+ protection, children can play carefree, while parents know their little ones are safe from the sun.

"We keep them safe, they keep us wild!"

Love, Hans & Jo-anne
