So that you can enjoy your tights for longer – our care instructions

It should last a long time

So you've invested in our wonderful tattoo tights and want to make sure they don't end up in the sea of disposable fashion? Excellent! After all, quality "Made in Italy" deserves more than a quick ladder. Although our tights aren't indestructible, here's how to care for them so they last a long time.

Size can make the difference here

A good fit is the key to a long life for your tights. Too small and you risk ladders; too big and they'll keep slipping. Use our size chart or ask our customer team if you're unsure. Your future self will thank you!

Wash like a pro

Tights are like fine wines – they need gentle care. Forget the machine and treat them to a spa day:

Hand wash

Pamper them with lukewarm water and liquid detergent.

Gentle drying

After washing, squeeze them gently in a towel. Please do not wring, pull or tug - they are not dough balls!

Machine wash

If unavoidable, wash them in a washing bag at 30°C. This way the quality is preserved and the environment is also happy.

The art of dressing

Putting on tights is an art in itself – here are a few tips to avoid runs:

Remove jewelry

Before you start, take off all your jewelry. Yes, even Grandma's ring.

Nail care

Smooth nails are a must. Nobody likes unexpected pulls!

Rolling instead of pulling

Carefully roll the tights from bottom to top. Avoid pulling!

Dry and smooth

Your legs should be dry and free of any zippers or sequins that could tear the fabric.

Socks over

Wear socks over your tights if your shoes are rough. Your tights will thank you.

5-star storage

Tights also need a penthouse:

Safe place in the closet

Avoid sharp edges and other clothing with hooks or sequins.

Drawer love

Store them neatly in drawers or boxes. Avoid sharp edges and other clothing with hooks or sequins. It is best to use the recyclable bags they came in or satin pouches.

Better safe than sorry

A little caution can save you a lot of trouble:

Wooden chairs and tables

They can be nasty enemies. Be careful!

Zippers and buckles

Keep your distance – they are the archenemies of every pair of tights.

Sequins

Yes, they sparkle beautifully, but they are a disaster for your tights.

The correct behavior when dealing with ladder stitches

If a ladder does appear:

Don't panic : gently pull on both sides of the stitch. It's not a magic spell, but with a bit of luck it will disappear or at least stop getting bigger.
