Product Care and sizing

Our garments are designed to fit true to size, with some variation by style. Please visit our sizing guide for detailed fit notes on each piece, including advice on sizing up or down for your preferred fit.

What fabric are your garments made from and why?

All pieces in our first collection are crafted from 100% cotton. The top and sweatshirt are made from 100% organic cotton jersey .The dress and skort are crafted from 100% luxury Italian cotton piqué, a fabric with a long heritage in premium sportswear.

How should I wash and care for my garments?

Please visit our care guide for full fabric care instructions, including washing temperatures and garment-specific guidance to keep your Bandari pieces looking beautiful.

Are your fabrics sustainable or ethically sourced?

Sustainability is at the heart of Bandari. Our top and sweatshirt are crafted from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, and our entire first collection is manufactured in a small, carefully selected factory in Portugal. We believe in making fewer, higher quality pieces that are designed to last.

Are your clothes suitable for other racket sports or just padel?

While Bandari is designed specifically as luxury women's padel clothing, our pieces work beautifully for tennis, pickleball and other racket sports too and are designed to transition effortlessly from court to everyday life.
