Having begun by providing lingerie for stocking wearers, we now find people ask for the stockings to go with the lingerie instead! We use several styles of stockings in our shoots. Some our are own brand, and many are provided by Cervin, a superb quality French brand whom we are also wholesale agents for. If you want a pair for yourself, their website is here: www.cervin.fr.
Why stockings?
Because they are sensual, elegant, and surprisingly practical! A ladder means you only lose one leg, not the entire item, and they are great for women’s health needs. We have a few styles of tights, but we challenge you to try one of our suspender belts – they really are the best!
Why are some of them wrinkled?
We use a lot of pure nylon stockings – before the age of lycra, these were absolutely normal, but are now quite rare. They need to be the right size and they do tend to wrinkle, but many people consider this to be very attractive. They ladder less easily than lycra stockings and feel sensational! We are the only brand to do a pure nylon stocking with a sheer foot.
What's that hole?!
It’s called a finishing loop, and it’s a giveaway sign that the stocking is an authentic 1950’s style fully fashioned stocking – made flat, rather than as a knitted tube, shaped to your leg and then sewn up the back.
So what else do you have stockings made in?
We have a more modern range of micronet and stretch stockings and hold-ups (made with lycra for stretch and silicone for grip). We also have silk stockings – even more rare than pure nylon!
We provide hosiery for many brands and can manufacture custom styles. We also offer a custom dying facility and can provide one off pairs for very special customers.
