Hi, I ordered the Maia Dore Pink scoop bikini last year
for a vacation, I wore it once then, and once a week ago on
another vacation. I wore it in the ocean, and hand rinsed it out
in the sink. It's now showing these small black dots all over the
pink fabric, that won't come out. They don't look like a stain,
it's all over the bikini. It's some sort of fabric or something
that's caught between the layers, really weird. I have a bunch of
triangl bikinis and this hasn't happened before. So looking for a
new one or some sort of help. Thanks!

Dear Jennifer,
Thank you for sending the photos!
Can you please share the following details as well:
Was the item washed using hot or cold water or was there any detergent or soap used?
Was it fully rinsed immediately after use, or was it left damp for any period of time before being washed?
After rinsing in the sink, how was the bikini dried and stored (e.g. hung, laid flat, placed in a bag)?
When you noticed the black dots, were they already present after washing, or did they appear after the second wear?
Do the dots feel like they are on the surface of the fabric, or do they seem embedded between the fabric layers?
We look forward to hearing back!
Kindest,
Nikka

Hi,
See below:
1. Hand washed in the sink with cold water and a very very gentle soap.
2. Fully rinsed right after use. I never leave my swimsuits damp.
3. It was stored flat to dry.
4. They were present immediately after washing.
5. The dots feel like they are between the fabric layers.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed information about your experience. I completely understand how frustrating and concerning this must beâespecially since youâve taken such great care of your bikini and havenât encountered this issue before.
Based on what youâve described, the small black dots appearing between the fabric layers are most likely tiny sand particles that have become trapped inside the material. This can occasionally happen because the fabric naturally expands when wet, allowing fine particles like sand to get caught between the layers, even with careful washing and rinsing. For this reason, it isnât considered a manufacturing defect.
To help remove the particles, we recommend soaking the bikini for a few minutes, then gently swishing it in water or lightly rubbing the fabric against itself. This can help dislodge any trapped sand.
If youâve already tried these steps and the issue hasnât improved, please let us knowâweâd be more than happy to assist you further and explore the next best solution.
We truly appreciate your continued trust in our brand. If thereâs anything else we can help with, please donât hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your understanding!
Kindest,

Hi again,
I did try that already, which is why I took the steps to reach out to customer care. As I mentioned before, I have numerous Triangl pieces, and know how to properly care for them. I haven't experienced this before until now.
I would also like to mention the two times I wore this bikini I wasn't on a beach, I was at a pool. So I'm not sure how sand would become trapped in the layers.
Please reconsider next best steps.
Thanks so much,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for getting back to us and for clarifying your experienceâwe completely understand your concern, especially given your familiarity with caring for your Triangl pieces and the fact that this occurred without any beach exposure.
While our returns policy typically covers 14 days from the delivery date, we want to make sure you remain satisfied with your purchase. As a one-time exception, weâd be happy to arrange a replacement for your item, as the last thing weâd want is for you to be left with something youâre unhappy with.
I'm afraid we can only replace the item with the same style since it is not a manufacturing defect.
Kindly note that the replacement item will not be eligible for future exchanges or refunds, as it is being provided specifically to resolve this issue with your original piece.
To ensure we send the correct replacement, could you please confirm if youâd like the same size: MAIA - DORE Top / L and Bottom / L / Normal? If youâd prefer a different size, just let us know and weâll be happy to update it for you.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and weâre here to help if you have any other questions.
Kindest,
Joanna
