JOOP! Strass Cornflower


	JOOP! Strass Cornflower Tights Elegant tights with Joop! Cornflower made of high quality strass in the ankle area. Transparent and soft matt, soft and pliant. Strass is the German word for crystal. The Cornflower is the JOOP! trademark. What these tights have is a very elegant and tasteful crystal motif on the back of each leg.

	Our Review Whenever you see tights with a special design feature such as the crystal heel motif featured here there has to be a worry that the price reflects this feature and the tights themselves may not be that special. Clearly Joop! have an eye for detail as a polythene sheet is placed over the crystal in the packet to prevent damage to the tights. The tights themselves feel smooth, soft and light in the hand. Completely sheer to waist with a lightly reinforced toe, flat seams and cotton lined gusset.




		20 Denier, 87 % Nylon, 11 % Lycra, 2 % Cotton, Price: €35.00

The Joop! branding is not just in the ankle motif but also in the 2 cm deep reinforced band that joins the waistband to the sheer material of the panty and legs.

Leg length looks to be very good, and the 11% Lycra promises a good fit and plenty of length.

Length and fit are indeed excellent, and the feel on the leg is nice and smooth and soft. The finish is perhaps more matt than we would have hoped for on what are essentially “evening” tights, but the matt finish is a nice contrast with the sparkle of the crystal.

Sadly a number of manufacturing faults were evident in our test pair, frankly faults that are not acceptable in tights at €35.00, as they spoil the perfect finish on the leg and could lead to runs.

Certainly tights to catch the eye on that special night out but you really are paying for the crystal design.
