Project Hosiery: Falke Shelina

The next product for Project Hosiery is from a company with a long history. Falke was founded in Germany all the way back in 1895 as a knitting mill. It wasn't until 1946 however that they entered the legwear industry.

The official name of the featured product is Falke Shelina 12, the number referring to the denier (weight). A low denier, Shelina is branded as a providing a summery, shimmery tone. Hosiery and summer don't necessarily make sense in the United States, but I imagine they go together better in cooler climates.

Jana was very please with this product. Shelina comes in a variety of skin tones, the lightest being golden, which the model thought matched her skin very well. Comfort and durability were also rated highly, the latter being a surprise given how thin the material was, even for sheer nylons.

Support was only average, but Jana said the overall likelihood of purchasing the product was high because they felt and appeared like above-average hosiery.

At 10 euros (about $13) a pair, Falke Shelina is a higher priced product, but according to the model it's worth the investment. I found this product, and other non-US brands, through an online reseller called www.MyTights.com.
