Gerbe Enigme Tights

At the time of writing we are still a few weeks away from seeing these tights on sale as they are part of the Gerbe Autumn/Winter 2008/2009 collection.

They feature all that we like from Gerbe, their very conformable waistband, flat seams and a silk lined gusset.

Many thanks to our leggy Angel for posing for a few photos to let you see what they are like.

Our Review

There was no sizing on the packaging of our preproduction sample and taking them out of the packet these tights looked quite short. Of course we had no information on the fibre content either but stretching them in our hands they stretched very well; so we guess there is at least 10% Lycra. The test sample was a perfect fit for one of our tallest testers; as you can see in the pictures . We have no reason to think that the sizing is any less accurate than is usual for Gerbe.

These tights, as is usual for Gerbe, are made with cotton-lined gusset and flat seams, legs are straight and heels are shaped.

The design feature of these tights is the lacy stripe pattern going all the way up from the reinforced toes to the lovely 2 cm deep Gerbe-waistband.

Review Update

No sooner do we finish our review and we get more information from Gerbe.

These are limited edition tights made in sizes 1-4 only. Angel is a perfect size 4 on the Gerbe size chart so now we know the size of our test pair too.

There are three colour Bourgogne (Burgundy), Bruyere (Grey as modelled by Angel) and Noir (Black)

Currently only available direct from Gerbe we hope to see them in the stores soon.
