STAR Beachwear is a European brand specialized in high-performance apparel for beach volleyball, born from a genuine passion for sand sports.

Our strength lies in hands-on experience and a tailor-made approach to custom beachwear.

The brand was founded by Patricia and Gian Maria, two former professional athletes with different backgrounds but a shared vision: to create products that blend style, quality, and functionality.

Patricia, a former Dutch indoor and beach volleyball pro, brings over 10 years of experience from top-tier leagues in the Netherlands and Italy. She played several seasons on the World Tour and international CEV tournaments, representing the Netherlands worldwide.

Thanks to her journey, she deeply understands the real needs of athletes who live and breathe beach sports.

Gian Maria, a former Italian basketball player, brings expertise in sportswear design, technical innovation, and manufacturing.

With STAR, you talk directly to us. Whether you’re an athlete, a club, or a sports organization, it’s us — Patricia and Gian Maria — personally leading every project, listening to your needs, and helping you create the perfect custom collection.

But STAR Beachwear is more than just us. Behind the scenes is a dedicated and skilled team working every day to support the world’s most exciting beach volleyball tournaments with precision and passion.

🌟 Our Philosophy

We believe that every athlete is a STAR.

It’s not about level — it’s about passion and dedication.

Our mission is to help you feel seen, empowered, and ready to perform at your best, with technical apparel that reflects who you are.

We’re the only brand in the world offering the SAND-OFF system, a patented innovation that lets players clean sand off their hands and arms with ease.

You focus on your game — we’ll handle the sand.

Our team has invested in research, development, and testing because we truly understand the daily challenges of sand athletes.

SAND-OFF was born from real experience and driven by a desire to deliver real comfort without compromising on performance or style.

Only with us. Only with STAR.

STAR Beachwear has become a reference point in the world of beach volleyball thanks to a strong presence at leading events across Europe and beyond.

We are proud official partners and sponsors of Queen & King of the Court, one of the most innovative and followed circuits worldwide.

Since 2015, we’ve also been official partners of the Dutch National Beach Volleyball Tour, celebrating 10 years of partnership in 2025.

Over the years, we’ve collaborated with national federations across Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, and more — delivering elite-level apparel for high-profile tournaments throughout Europe.

We work regularly with Volleyball World and CEV events and have maintained a long-standing partnership with Decathlon.

These collaborations confirm our commitment: supporting sport with apparel that is high-performing, durable, customized, and developed side by side with those who live the game every day.
