Hi, my name is Mary Allen and I have sold hosiery for 30years.  

I love hosiery all the shades deniers styles and textures.

 

The range I have chosen includes Elbeo, Pretty Polly, Levante and Cette.

 

Elbeo because they are great for support hosiery.

 

Pretty Polly I have picked from their Specialist range, Pretty Cool, the 30 denier tights and hold ups. Sheer Lights.

Levante because I believe the Italians make fabulous hosiery. 

They have an enormous range but I have chosen the ones I think you will love. 

 

Cette, a range of support and seamed hosiery.

You should know that while in the UK we are used to descriptions of “appearance” as a guide to the final “look on leg” Cette tell you the actual denier. 

This makes their hosiery sound thicker than they look on leg – modern hosiery production sees constant improvement in yarns and the look of the end product – and our guide to look on leg takes these factors into account.

 

I am sure you will find something to please you in The Leggery range and we could save you hours of staring at hosiery displays wondering what is what.

 The value of support tights.

Prevention is better than living with the problems.

Support tights and how they work.

One in four women will suffer from some kind of leg complaint at some stage of their life. 

Women are three times more likely to suffer than men and if you parents have leg problems the odds are against you.

Any weight increase can bring on leg problems be it aching, swollen ankles, or varicose veins.

In the UK we are very luck to have a hosiery company, which specialises in support tights Elbeo pronounced LBO.

They make their product to British Standards and many women in this country benefit from that quality.

Elbeo started out in Germany more than 250 years ago, which must make than the oldest hosiery company in the world.

Prevention and how support tights help.

Graduated support tights are made with a combination of yarns to gentle put pressure on to parts of the leg to encourage the veins to push the blood back up the leg.

The pressure is strongest at the ankle, where it is need the most, then gradually decrease to the thigh.

 

Compression Factor What does it mean?

The compression is the pressure on the leg and the factor is the measure of the pressures strength at the ankle.

Most hosiery manufactures use the numbers 6 to 17 to show the compression factor on the pack. 

The higher the number the stronger the support.
