Triangl Swimwear Review

Triangl Swimwear

So, I recently got sent a piece from Triangl Swimwear as a gift (Thank you guys!), and purchased one off a friend that wasn't the right size for her.


I searched far and wide for reviews on these rad pieces from Triangl Swimwear, though there aren't too many out there. So I thought this would be help so some people who are wondering whether or not to invest in one of these bikinis/underwear sets. As this is also my first post, I may be a little rusty, but let's get on with it.

Company and item overviews.

Triangle are an Australian company, though are based in Hong Kong where they ship from, their bikinis range from $79-$89 USD, and their underwear sets from $45-$55 USD.

The swimwear sets are made from neoprene, which is a wet suit material. It doesn't lose shape, have much give (so sizing right is essential, but we'll get onto that shortly), nor is it see through, for those worrying about this with the white sets. 

I have the 'Milly - Arizona Sunset' ($89) in both a small top and bottoms, and the 'Billie Firefly' ($79) again both small on the top and bottom. And I'm definitely wanting another too, damn.


The 'Milly - Arizona Sunset' is a balconette type bikini top that is underwired with a moulded cup, has adjustable straps and a clasp fastening at the back, the bottoms are hipster and have high-curved sides. They fit true to size so you should always refer to the sizing chart that has been made available on the website (super helpful!). Click here for sizing chart.



The 'Billie Firefly' is an absolute showstopper, with metallic rose gold briefs which are absolutely stunning and a neon orange and black mesh triangle bra style top. This bikini also comes with a rose gold beach bag matching the briefs, which is super cool, fits your bikini, a towel and some suncream. Again with the sizing, it is very true to size and always refer to the sizing chart.



Customer service

Their customer service is nothing short of wonderful, friendly and helpful, super helpful!
If you're confused about what size you need, or what fit and style you prefer, they have a 24/7 chat on their website to help you with whatever needs you have, they also respond to emails fast and detailed.

Shipping

Okay so, it was bank holiday this Monday and my package managed to arrive within 6 days including the weekend and bank holiday Monday, incredible service. 
The shipping cost is $20 USD for international shipping, $10 AUD for Australian shipping and $20 USD for North America. 

*Duties and Taxes Fee* As always with international orders, you may have a Duties and Taxes Fee/Customs to pay before you receive your order, or you may not (you could be lucky). This is nothing to do with Triangl and you are liable to pay this when your package goes through customs, so be aware of this.

All in all, it gets to you at lightning speed, even if you live at the complete opposite side of the world!
Packaging

I was so excited when I received my Milly set from DHL this morning, I tore the nasty DHL bag that uncovered a super sleek, black box with Triangl sprawled across the lid, black and patent, rad. 
I opened it to find each item seperately wrapped in clear bags with Triangle written across them in black, with two cards. One being a lovely thank you, and the other being care instructions (which you must follow, as neoprene is delicate). Upon taking them out of the plastic bag, there is a hard black card label on the briefs which is easily removable by undoing the safety pin.





With the new 'Milly - Arizona Sunset' you do not get it in a matching beach bag, only a box, which is rad anyway! Though, on the website it tells you what it comes with etc.
Though I can now keep them both in the box, perfect!
10/10 on packaging!
Summary

All in all, these are awesome bikinis and I'm sure the underwear is just as great!

They're worth investing in, as if looked after properly, these bikinis could last you a long long time, and they're stunning, so why you wouldn't want to look after them in the first place is beyond me!

The fit is amazing, and they are so comfortable and stay put.

I will leave links below to their social media and website.

I now just have to get my ass on holiday so I can wear them, sad. 

Again, thank you Traingl!
