What is a pre-order item and when will it ship?

Pre-orders are advance purchases that secure highly sought-after items before they arrive at our warehouse. The pre-order date indicates when we anticipate receiving the item. Time frames: Early = Week 1-2, Mid = Week 2-3, Late = Week 3-4. Unforeseen circumstances like weather, customs, and carrier delays can affect the timeline.

How can I track my package?

Once your order has been fulfilled, you will receive an email with your tracking information. You can track the progress of your order directly on your 12th Tribe tracking page.

When will I receive my order?

We want you to receive your order as fast as possible. International orders are typically delivered within 8-14 business days once fulfilled, with the estimated delivery date shown on your tracking page.

Not eligible: accessories, hats, swimwear, and items purchased on sale or as part of a promotion (including Holiday Promos, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Flash Sales, and Secret Sales). If you return for a refund, the return cost is deducted from your refund. Exchanges, gift cards, and Shop Now purchases incur no handling fees. You must ship items back with the label we provide.

How do I submit a return request?

Why didn't I receive the full amount in my refund?

What is Shop Now and how does it work?

How should I care for my swimsuit?

Hand wash separately with cold water and gentle soap after each use. Avoid soaking and dry in the shade. Do not pack wet suits with other garments or keep them balled up. Avoid dry cleaning and minimize contact with sunscreens, oils, chlorine, and rough surfaces. For sanitary reasons, try on items over underwear. We recommend plant-based detergent for longer-lasting color.

Bold but wearable

"The color is everything. It’s such a statement but still feels chic and elevated."

— Danielle P. (5/5)

Sexy and chic

"Gorgeous color, stretchy material, fits so well!"

— Kara D. (5/5)

Gorgeous!

"Bought this for a wedding. Quality fabric, fit great. I got tons of compliments!"

— Allyson V. (5/5)

Great quality and so flattering

"This dress is just as pictured. I’m 5’3 and about 128 lbs athletic build, more hourglass and small chest. I ordered a small and it is perfect. The material is breathable yet thick so it doesn’t feel like it’s cheap or exposing every bit of you. It hugs my curves in the most flattering way. The gold material on the halter while it isn’t a heavy material, it doesn’t look cheap which I was happy about."

— Anna R. (5/5)
