Same Los Angeles Review: The Viral Luxury Swimwear Brand With a Quality Gap You Need to Know

✅ TikTok community documents compliments every wear — “obsessed” is the recurring word. The TikTok SAME community is specific and enthusiastic: bridal era swimmers, larger-bust buyers finding flattering options, and style creators documenting “quality design worth the splurge.” The aesthetic appeal and social validation outcome are documented as genuine.

✅ Handcrafted in Mexico and LA — limited production, slow fashion positioning. SAME emphasises limited production runs that reduce waste and enhance exclusivity while skilled artisans pay close attention to stitching, fit, and finish. For buyers who value slow fashion and limited run exclusivity, this positioning is documented as genuine. 

✅ Celebrity and influencer organic adoption documented. SAME Los Angeles has quickly become a favourite among fashion enthusiasts, celebrities, and influencers — without documented paid partnership disclosures across the accounts that matter. Organic celebrity adoption at the price tier SAME operates in is a meaningful quality signal.

✅ Bold cuts and high-fashion silhouettes praised — “stand out” swimwear positioning. Their creations are daring, simplistic, and tailored to enhance the figure — the design aesthetic is documented as genuinely distinctive from standard swimwear brands. For buyers who want a specific striking look, SAME delivers visual differentiation.

✅ Larger chest buyers specifically document flattering fit. TikTok specifically documents a SAME swimwear haul for larger chests as a positive outcome — the silhouette engineering is praised by buyers who typically struggle with swimwear fit.

✅ 82% polyamide and 18% elastane — quick-drying comfort documented on specific styles. The Double Layer Bottom’s 82% polyamide and 18% elastane construction provides stretch, durability, and quick-drying comfort. For buyers who purchase specific documented styles, the material specifications are genuine. 

❌ $250 swimsuit degraded on second wear — fabric quality “worse than K-mart.” A ComplaintsBoard verified buyer documents: “For a $250 swimsuit, you’d think the chain link would be more expensive than swimsuits at K-mart. The swimsuit ain’t lined, and the fabric is so cheap.” For luxury swimwear pricing, unlined fabric and chain link hardware below budget swimwear quality is a fundamental quality failure.

❌ Customer service does not respond to emails — no phone number available. Horrible customer service that wouldn’t respond to any of my emails, and no phone number to call. For a $250 purchase, email-only support that goes unanswered is a documented post-purchase service failure. 

❌ Store credit only on returns — no refunds. SAME swim got a real specific return/refund policy — they’ll take back stuff that ain’t been washed or worn, as long as it still got them tags on. You got 14 days to make up your mind. A buyer whose $250 suit degraded on second wear received only a store credit offer — not a refund — for a brand-quality failure.

❌ Swimwear quality “basically a scam at this point” — second buyer confirms same pattern. A second ComplaintsBoard buyer documents the brand calling degradation on second wear “normal” and stopping replies. “I checked their social media pages and I’m not the only one having this same issue with their product quality and customer service. It’s basically a scam at this point.”

❌ 6-week delivery documented — 1.5 months wait for a swimsuit. “It also took about a month and a half to get.” For limited-run luxury swimwear at $250 per piece, a 6-week delivery window requires explicit upfront disclosure — which the documented buyer did not receive.
