Commenters on Victoria's Secret's Instagram were not shy in calling the brand out for the bandeau tops, writing things like: "These are really nice but y'all need to stop copying triangl" and "Copied triangl !!!! This is really embarassing for VS ...do your own thing! Like @triangl_swimwear." Compare the two brand's suits above and see the Instagram post below.
