We’re Often Asked…

Are the swim shorts true to size?

Our swim shorts have a slim, tailored fit. If you’re between sizes we recommend sizing up for the best fit.
Can I exchange my order?

For Black Friday & Christmas purchases, we offer a 60-day return and exchange policy. If the size isn’t right, we’ll happily exchange it. Refunds are not available on sale items, a store credit will be provided if you change your mind.

Please note: Due to our limited production run of swim shorts, we cannot guarantee the same design or size will be available for exchange. If this is the case we will offer you a full refund.

See our Returns Policy for more details.
How much do artists get paid?

Artists receive a royalty of 10% for every product we make. Royalties are paid upfront every quarter, on the full retail price - even when our products are on sale. Their work is always valued fairly and transparently.
How does GALI support communities?

We give back 25% of our profits to First Nations artists and communities. Since launching, we’ve raised over $90,000 in income and donations.

Artists and Art Centres guide which community projects we support, ensuring the initiatives are community-led.

We’ve contributed to a range of projects, including education and literacy programs, youth activities, LGBTQIA+ initiatives, and programs that connect Aboriginal youth with Country.
Is GALI Aboriginal owned?

Yes. GALI was founded by David Leslie, a proud Kamilaroi man and volunteer surf lifesaver from Bondi Beach. The brand is 100% Aboriginal owned and built to share First Nations culture with people around the world.
Who Can Wear Gali?

Everyone.

Our swimwear, beach towels, and underwear are created with First Nations artists and communities - each design shares their stories and culture for everyone to celebrate with.

We're proud that we have shared stories and culture with people across 42 countries.
