TIGHTS WERE TRASH, UNTIL NOW
Humans have walked on the moon—so why did tights still break at the first sign of bad luck? Founder Katherine Homuth was fed up with old-fashioned, disposable hosiery, so she set out to make the toughest, luckiest tights in the world.

IT TOOK SHEER GRIT AND THE TOUGHEST MATERIALS, BUT WE DID THE IMPOSSIBLE
With a lot of hard work and innovation, Katherine and her team created a miracle knit, a proprietary manufacturing process, and took over the largest hosiery factory in Montreal, Canada, where the entire team is based today.

Our Sheertex knit is the foundation of all of our products, and we’re finding more and more ways to create stylish, ultra-durable uses for it.

01–DURABILITY
THROWING AWAY DISPOSABLE TIGHTS, FOR GOOD
Over 2 billion pairs of pantyhose are thrown away each year. Tights shouldn’t be trash, so we’re replacing them with a strong and long-lasting knit that can be reworn, again and again.

02–SECOND CHANCES
MEET OUR SECOND CHANCES COLLECTION
We use the extra material from our production process to make new products like masks, headbands, scrunchies, and underwear. This collection is still growing—so stay tuned for more upcycled products to come.
OUR PRICING IS BOUND TO OUR QUALITY

We’re the first hosiery company to be using fiber this strong to make tights. This fiber is traditionally used for climbing equipment and in other more heavy duty ways, and getting it thin enough for pantyhose doesn’t come easy. Our prices reflect the cost of our materials directly — no scams or crazy markups.
