Ethical tights exist. They're durable, responsible, and carefully made. And they have a lot to say. Let's hear them out.
I'm an ethical tights wearer. And I refuse to be thrown away.
For a long time, I was reduced to a fragile, disposable, transparent item. An accessory that lasted a few hours, good for the trash after a busy day. I was sold for 3 euros, 6 euros, 9 euros. As if I were interchangeable. As if I had no value.
But I am an ethical stickler . And I don't want to keep quiet anymore.
What you don't see when you buy classic tights
Non-recyclable, warp-knitted petroleum-based fibers
Low-paid workers, sometimes from outside the EU
An average lifespan of 1 to 3 ports
Tens of millions of tights thrown away every year
Total opacity regarding manufacturing conditions
All this for a garment that you don't even dare wash anymore for fear that it will tear.
What if we could do better ?
What I am, me, ethical sticky
I was born in France , knitted with care in a workshop where the employees are recognized. My yarn is made from rare polyamide and elastane.
Tights made with our Atra-Tex yarn last much longer than those made with traditional fibers. Atra-Tex is designed to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring your tights retain their shape and performance after multiple washes and wears.
Atra-Tex fibers are also highly elastic, meaning that even after repeated use, the tights retain their original shape. They do not stretch easily and maintain their perfect fit.
I am washable. I am wearable. I am visible.
I am an ethical sticky , and I want to exist differently.

Cygnes has thought about my end of life. With the Concygnes program, you can send me back. I will be recycled into accessories (pouches, scrunchies, etc.) or upcycled by artisans.
A word about style:
It is sometimes believed that ethics rhymes with austerity. False. I am an ethical stickler , and I am also:
Opaque or transparent, as you wish
Intense black or nude skin
Discreet or assertive
Subtle under a suit, sensual under a dress, free under shorts
- Ethics is not a sacrifice. It is an aesthetic.
