Frequently asked questions

Will I ever see another Zanzibar Bay piece the same as mine?

No, definitely not! All ZB pieces are totally original and one of a kind. I do not make more than one piece using the same fabric and trim. I usually purchase enough fabric to make a number of designs in each fabric, such as one Kimono, one Goddess Dress etc. If I ever make more than one style in each fabric run, I would never use the same trim. So every Zanzibar Bay piece is guaranteed to be absolutely gorgeous and totally original.

Are all Zanzibar Bay pieces suitable for all sizes?

All ZB Kimonos, Sarongs and Siren Dresses are ‘free size’ and designed for all women. Our Goddess Dresses are designed to fit UK14-16 , however can be adjusted to fit any size. Please just contact me to discuss and I can happily adjust any Goddess Dress to suit.

The trims are so pretty - Can I let my children play with them??

Absolutely NOT! Due to the nature of our trims, we highly recommend that these are not for children. Some trims feature cut mirror which may have sharp edges. All pieces are to be gently hand washed and hung to dry. Throughout the course of their lives, due to the nature of the trims, some beads may come loose. Please be aware of this and do not allow near small children. We are so sorry but we cannot accept any responsibility for any damage arising from our trims. Having said that, if each piece is worn as it is intended and little fingers and mouths are kept away everyone will stay happy.

How do I wash my Zanzibar Bay pieces?

All of our pieces are designed to be gently hand washed and dried in the sunshine. Please do not put in a washing machine or dryer as it will damage the trims and often the fabrics.

Does Zanzibar Bay offer returns?

Absolutely YES! Each piece I make is designed to be loved and cherished, however we do understand that sometimes items may not be suitable. If this is the case, Zanzibar Bay accepts returns of unworn and undamaged items for a full refund within 28 days of receipt. Please simply return the item using the return label and we will issue you a full refund.

Will I look and feel gorgeous in my Zanzibar Bay piece?

Absolutely YES! Each piece I make is meant to bring out your inner goddess and to inspire you in the sunshine. Each piece is glamorous and incredibly versatile. Every Kimono can and should be worn over a swimsuit as well as jeans, dresses, shorts etc. Every dress can be easily taken from the beach or pool to the bar or beyond. Simply dress any piece up with strappy heels and chunky jewellery and voilà instant Goddess!
