Our Review 

With seamed tights you never know what to expect, some of the cheaper styles are terrible, but the likes of Wolford, Gerbe, and Cervin have made some truly beautiful examples.  Falke being one of our favourite brands we are full of anticipation.

These tights are available in three colour combinations, the traditional black tights with a black seam, a very daring black with red seams and the ever so subtle and discrete sun with a natural seam.  We tested a pair in sun.

The look and feel is very much like the Falke Shelina, but these are a little more sheer. Construction is all we would expect from Falke, flat seams and a cotton lined gusset and entirely sheer to waist.  Sheer to waist that is aside from the back seams, the cuban heel and the reinforced sole.  The toe detail is interesting in that the reinforced sole goes all the way to the toe seam but the toe is a sandal toe.

These are the most soft and sheer tights and on the leg they feel even better, the most gentle caress on your legs.

The heel sits perfectly and it is no problem to get the seams perfectly straight.  In the colour we tested the effect is fantastic, you see the seam before you see the tights.  What a great idea for summer.  The reinforced sole is comfortable and durable.

Simply stunning tights, that are near perfect in look and feel.  They replace the Wolfords as our favourite seamed tights.
