Now let’s be creating some little statements with a new brand! This company got in touch and wanted me to test out their products. At first, I thought they were a little different to what I was used to (mainly because they’re a thicker denier with different designs) but I really had to give them a go.

I have to say their whole brand is pretty quirky – and it’s something that is right up my street as long as I can style them right!

Oh and this is also Blog 1 of 2 – I have another one coming up for you all tomorrow 🙂

About 77Denari

77DENARI is an Italian line of tights & socks of Italian manufacture produced in limited edition.

The line has an experimental and at the same time ancient character: the tights, of an elastic nature, are in fact printed according to the original artisan method and with water colors, a technique in use for “still” supports of natural origin.

Every single graphic element has changed to a frame, thus becoming an absolutely prized piece, a unique piece, and the ethical-aesthetic choice of using water colors alone makes the product complex and innovative; therefore the study of colors, designs and print media are the result of a combination of ingenuity and magic, feasibility and disruption of the rules.

77denari was born in 2012 and is composed of 8 tights / stories per collection; starting from 2018, 77news grows and launches the Socks collection, and the “STRIPPANTI” Other Line.

The entire creative and printing process is carried out by the two founders of 77denari, Simona Berardi and Carla Armillei, and is inspired by the crude vision of geometric elements typical of the instinct of Nature.

77denari also boasts the collaboration of various artists working in the field of graphic design and illustration, photography, music, video and styling. Each of them supports the project becoming an integral part of the creative process; their participation opens the circle of possibilities towards still unexplored and seductive alchemies, and they contribute to creating, for the 77DENARI project, an imprint that is renewed over time.

The idea on which the project is based is the desire to give “beauty” an extra value, in which harmony and proportions of the parts go beyond the absolute, of time and memory, and focus on the “Physical soul” of intrigued consciences. In this case in fact the work is worn and moves: it walks, runs, dances and lives stories, reinterpreting the proposed contents with its own voice, and in the meantime creating a new identity.

Tights – talisman therefore, capable of breaking the classical scheme of gender and form and of ruffling with wonder.

A special thanks goes to the “DUEC Calzificio” and to our consultant Renato Altimani.

My Outfit

Instead of creating something loud, I thought I would incorporate the tights into my outfit. I wore my cream bodysuit paired with my teal skirt and added my mustard boots to finish off the look. You could easily pair any other colour footwear with them to create a colour block, but I wanted to fuse it altogether to create a piece 🙂

The Review

From The Website: 77denari, for autumn-winter 18/19, explores the vast world of feelings, and the multiple points of view they can generate. Thanks to the senses, the body in fact receives information from the interior and exterior environment. They are accessing the world itself within us. Each of them has the ability to form a perceptual opinion before the action of intelligence.

We have been taught that there are five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, and that is anatomically, but also admits that we have a thermal sensitivity, and we know how to recognize the sense of well being, pain, or discomfort of the organism as a whole.

For this reason 77denarians have explored various currents, which have identified from 9 to 21. We have embraced 12 of them; precisely 7 more than the 5, through which we think we can fully experience our perception, and then transform us into what surrounds us, to try to increase that degree of cooperation, according to which individuals build together a reality and a shared truth.

– limited edition: max 100 pieces for model;

– high resistance and durability of the design: hand washing at 30 degrees is recommended.

The Packaging: now I have to say how impressed I was with their packaging. They were sent in a super padded envelope, in 2 small boxes.

Very simple, but they are certainly different and I love it. Even though there isn’t much detail to them in terms of model, sizing, blurb about the hosiery etc, they still aren’t bad at all.

Getting Them On: now as the pattern is symmetrical on each leg, I took my time doing the scrunch and roll up the legs making sure I pair it as evenly as I can so I don’t have to do it again later.

These were fine rolling up the legs, and going over anklets. I had no issues at all – if anything they were super soft and so easily to glide right up.

On The Legs:

well all I can say is how funky are these?!?!?!

The quality of these are really good I have to say. They are such a gorgeous fit on the legs; even if they are a one size pair! They have so much stretch to them and really do hug the legs well. I expected them to be slightly loose, but in actual fact that is not the case!

They look like they are a block cream colour, but if you stretch them (like how they stretch on my thighs) they do go slightly lighter. You still do get really good leg coverage overall, but it’s something to note if you want a true opaque block colour.

The design is super awesome; I have done something similar a while ago with a Jonathan Aston pair (called Dynamic) which was black sheer with a black design and they really rocked. I love how they have worked the black and goldy-yellow colour at the side of the legs, which gives you the opportunity to actually pair up colours easily with it. As I mentioned, I kept with my mustard boots, but I could have easily done purple or blue (with a different skirt too) and it would just enhance the colour and design even more.

The only downside I had was that the print was a little off on the left leg; it’s like it got stuck and slightly peeled off a little. It’s nothing major but if I’m going into the nitty gritty details, that is something I picked up on when I got them out the packaging.

The fit of these are great; as I said for a one size pair, these are fab. I do feel it could fit up to a large size but you would be looking at a sheerer cream colour than a block opaque.

The feel of them are super soft and so nice on the legs. They’re smooth (both inside and out), they’re soft to touch and they really do caress the legs.

The Toes & Ankle: are also great. I expected some chunky seams around the toes creating little bumps around the ends but nothing of the sort. They fit and shape to the toes really nicely so you get a smooth looking finish. This also carries around the foot and up the ankles too.

You will find these will wrinkle slightly around the ankle due to the higher denier, but nothing too major.

I do think these are reinforced – and I will say that as the denier is quite thick so it would be pretty hard to create holes in these!

The Waistband: is so soft and so comfortable I don’t wanna take these off! I love the way they sat on the waist and actually just moved with me. They don’t fall down or move out of place once you set them, and they certainly don’t lose elasticity quickly either no matter how many times you pull them down and back up again.

It’s a proper comfort band, and I really like it!

My Thoughts?

I gotta say I really loved being in these. They were such an experience. I know most higher denier can be a hit or miss, but these are a pair which I would class as a luxe pair. I say this purely because of the way they are made, how they feel on the legs and the quality is just lovely. Trust me when I say when you roll these on, you instantly tell what they’re gonna be like for the next 10+ hours!

I am so looking forward to my 2nd pair I get to try out!

And today we are toning it down to a more casual look with the suspender tights. I wanted to do something a little dressier than yesterday, but that meant covering some of the motif on the leg. So instead I opted for a pair of shorts (instead of an oversized jumper in this gorgeous weather).

If you missed yesterdays review, then hit the link below to get more information about the brand and trying out the 1st pair:

77Denari A/W 18-19 Cream Printed Tights

The Spec

Colour: Black

Style: #1

Size: One Size

Denier: 80

Materials: 85% polyamide, 15% elastane

Price: N/A

Website: 77Denari – Strippanti

My Outfit

I went for a little more laid back with my look today; I wore my orange bodysuit paired with my shorts and opted for white pumps. This helps to make the motif stand out of the legs rather than toned down with another colour.

The Review

From The Website: A / W 18/19, the STRIPPANTI are born, “L’Altra Linea” by 77denari. A new line that through the body interprets “the other from itself”; a second skin that expresses with joy the joy of loving bodies and loving life, exploring the universality of simple transmission of thought / symbol.

– 100% made in Italy: the basic pantyhoses and socks are made by Italian manufacturer DUEC Calzificio located in Goffredo Castiglione;

– 100% handmade screen printing: no use of printer;

– composition: 85% polyamide and 15% elastane;

– limited edition: max 100 pieces for model;

– high resistance and durability of the design: hand washing at 30 degrees is recommended.

The Packaging: as I mentioned yesterday, I love their simple packaging. To see my full opinion, then skip back a blog 🙂

Otherwise I will let the images do the talking below …

Getting Them On: I can’t say there was much of a struggle getting these on to be honest. As long as you scrunch and roll these on, you’re good to go. Plus what makes it easier if that these are super soft and such a nice material – there is minimal fuss 🙂

On The Legs: well can I just say that these are just awesome!

So different, so edgy and I absolutely love it!

The denier being 80 means you get more of a opaque black, but I have to say you do still get some sheerness where it has stretched out (on me it’ll be the thighs). Not a bad thing though if you’re looking from a distance as it will show as a block black colour.

The quality of these once again are amazing. I had no issues at all being in them for the day – they have served me so well! No snags, no runs, no catching … Nothing at all!

The fit of them are great, apart from the suspender part where I felt they were slightly too tight so my thighs were squishing out a little from time to time. It’s worse when I sit down! Otherwise these are a great fit! The feel of them are just like my previous pair; they are super soft and really lovely on the legs.

The design is something unique and I really love it; it translates to “nothing is more powerful than a fantasy” which sums these up pretty well I say! You can wear these on their leg as there is no right or wrong way – either in the inner leg or stick it on the outer! I have to say I had a little issue again with the print where it faded from a bright white to dull white in some parts.

The Toes & Ankle: another great pair which fit around the toes, feet and ankles nicely. There was plenty of room for the toes to move and not any extra material in sight. Once again, these will wrinkle slightly due to the higher denier but it’s normal so I wouldn’t worry too much.

The Waistband: and another great feature is that soft comfortable waistband. This time I have it splitting so you get a full open crotch area – great for those who love this feature.

The band itself is slightly thicker than my last pair, but it doesn’t stop it being super cosy to be in. They move with you once again and you actually forget that you’re wearing it after a while.

Elasticity isn’t lost either no matter how much you stretch these out – which is fab if you’re after a longer lasting pair!

My Thoughts?

This brand has won me over. I love their designs, I love their quality and I love how soft they actually are. Even though they are quite thick, you don’t actually feel it on the legs when you’re in them – and that is something not many brands can offer!

Apart from some faded parts on the motif, I love these and would totally recommend them if you’re into unique printed designs!
