Girardi Cristine Opaque Lace Top Hold Ups Review - UK Tights

Apologies for the lack of posting via my blog, Twitter and Instagram lately.  For some of you that don't know; I work full-time in a demanding role managing accounts worth over a few million pound, and from May - July we have an increase in spending to ensure all our money is spent etc.  So I do sincerely apologise for the lack of updates, but as you can imagine my job is my top priority. 

So with all that out of the way, let's get down to business on these Girardi hold ups from UK Tights! ❤

Since as early as 1933, Girardi brand name has been synonym of both sophisticated ladies elegance and top quality products.  They produce all our items inside our works in Reggio Emilia where the attention to every tiny detail accompanies their passion for hosiery.  Special attention is given to the choice of precious yarns, that is made according to the strictest standards, so that we are able to give our special touch feeling and comfort - which of course what really matters.  Who wants to wear  a pair of scratchy cheaply knitted items!?

Tights made for the Summer - Pierre Mantoux Eclatant 40 - UK Tights

The sun is finally starting to shine here in the U.K, so why not kick off the 'British Summer Time'  by reviewing a pair of tights that glisten beautifully in the sun from UK Tights.  I must add that I have strong expectations of these tights, as many people have even compared them to Wolford Neon 40's!  Which, in my opinion is a BIG statement to make...

Pierre Mantoux is based in Italy and has one of the longest and richest histories of any brand in legwear.  They were founded in 1932 by Ottorino Giangrossi, a German silk importer.  Soon after, the whole family joined the company and still run it to this day. Generation after generation has learned the trade and gone on to make more exciting designs…

Leg Avenue was founded in 1999 in California, USA and are now one of the world's largest manufacturers of intimate apparel.   They pride themselves on making the most innovative costumes, lingerie and hosiery. (and that they definitely do! ❤)

I first discovered Leg Avenue in the summer of  2006;  it was then that I fell in love with a pair of socks that a Playmate (Playboy bunny) was wearing.  I then proceeded to do that obsessive internet search and that's how I discovered Leg Avenue! (random I know!)
