FAQ

We believe Lingerie and Swimwear aftercare is of the utmost importance. Special care is needed when washing your fine lingerie and swimwear. If you follow the care instructions below, it will help keep your lingerie beautiful for longer. Always follow the care instructions given on the label of your lingerie.

Prep your pieces Fasten all hooks and place your lingerie or swimwear in a sealable laundry bag.

Washing machine tips

• Fill the machine up to 1/3 full with similar delicate items.
• Use a delicate wash program at 30°C (unless the label says otherwise).
• Keep the speed low (max. 600rpm).
• Use a small amount of mild liquid detergent. No bleach or fabric softener!

Drying

• Air dry your items on a drying rack indoors or in the shade.
• Keep them out of the sun.
• Separate the cups of pre-shaped bras to avoid dents or creases.
• Never wring out your items, place them on a heat source, or iron them.

Storing your lingerie and swimwear

• Make sure your pieces are completely dry before storing.
• Slide the cups of your bras and swimwear together and store them in a row to maintain their shape.
• Avoid folding or creasing them.

Extra tips

• Wash your lingerie after 2 or 3 wears.
• Sauna, jacuzzi, high chlorine levels, and sunscreen can shorten the life of your swimwear.
• Rinse your swimwear immediately in clear water after use.

Ideally, you should wash your lingerie after having worn it for one day. We strongly advise you to wash your lingerie by hand. Delicate laces and embroideries will last much longer if washed gently by hand. Fill a tub with warmish water (max 30°C) and detergent, and repeatedly immerse the lingerie. Make sure that the lingerie keeps moving. Don't wring it or rub it. Rinse with clear warmish water (max 30°C) until all the detergent is gone. Never put lingerie in the tumble dryer, but hang it out to dry. Lingerie can dry flat on a towel or be hung on a drying rack. Always hang the bra by the central front panel so it can dry evenly. Never put lingerie on a heat source. Only put lingerie away if it is completely dry. Lingerie should not be ironed.

Always follow the care instructions given on the label of your swimwear. Avoid wearing new swimwear in the sauna or Jacuzzi as this can cause serious degradation to the garment. We would suggest that an older garment is used as an alternative. Avoid contact with chlorine and sunscreen. Rinse swimwear immediately after every use in clean, cold water. Wash swimwear in cold water with detergent. Use a mild liquid detergent for delicate wash. Never let it soak overnight. Never wring swimwear. Never put swimwear in the tumble dryer, but hang it out to dry. Swimwear can dry flat on a towel or be hung on a drying rack. Only put swimwear away if it is completely dry.

Please note, we are unable to accept as faulty returned lingerie or swimwear where damage has been caused by not following the washing instructions on the label.

This encrypts and protects sensitive information you send to us over the internet including your name, address and credit card details. Encryption ensures that no one can see the information that is sent between your device and our website. SSL technology not only encrypts information, but also assures your browser that your data is being sent to the correct and secure computer server and also checks the transmitted data to ensure that it has not been altered in any way. As soon as you enter an SSL-enabled area of the website, you will see a lock at the bottom of your browser. This means that the data entered here is protected.

After you have successfully completed the checkout process, you will receive an order confirmation email. If you have not received any confirmation within 30 minutes after placing your order, please contact us at contacten@primadonna.com so that we can check if we have successfully received your order. However, this email is not a confirmation that we have successfully processed your payment. For credit and debit card payment methods, it may happen that we do not obtain payment authorisation from your bank. Usually, the denial of a payment authorisation occurs within 1 working day from the time you placed an order. If payment authorisation is denied, we will cancel your order and inform you via an automated mail.

There are several reasons why a payment was rejected. Check the information you entered carefully and try again. Remember that the billing address must match the address provided by your bank or credit card issuer, otherwise your transaction may be declined by our Payment Service Provider, even if your bank has authorised the payment. We will not accept payment from you until the items are dispatched, but the money will be reserved in your account at the time of ordering, even if the payment has not successfully reached us. If the payment has been declined, it will take approximately 4 working days for this authorisation code to expire and the funds to be released. If you have checked and re-entered your details, please contact either your card issuer or our customer service. Do not enter your details more than once as this may prevent your funds from being authorised for other transactions.
