Luxury Lingerie Shopping

In true French style, Cervin is a fabulous collection of silk stockings. Deeply rooted in luxury and culture, when Germain Massal first began operations in the 1920s, he made silk stockings to be sent to the Royal and Imperial Courts of Europe. Today, the company is managed by the third generation and the stockings and legwear are as luxurious and as fashionable as the original L’ARSOIE.

Interestingly, Cervin uses a long lost art to make the finest footwear available. Knitting on 3D machines makes the thread and mesh of the stocking perfectly identical from the top to the bottom. This technique is so highly sought after that museums and private collectors commission Cervin for their own collections.

Cervin offers fashion tights in various colours and designs including Arabesque motifs, floral designs, geometrical lines, ankle tattoo designs, and stripes and dots. The classic tights are sheer and semi dull with lace waistbands and open or closed derrière. Their fashion stay-ups are beautifully crafted with lace tops and reduced heel design.

Nylon stockings with authentic Edwardian three-thread seam up the back of the leg, Cuban style heels, ankle tattoos, gold and silver seams, and sandal foot styling are the earmarks of this successful company. Fitness tights, knee-highs and silk socks round out Cervin’s product lines.

The 2008-2009 Collection is available for viewing on the Cervin website and it will enchant with its spiral designs, vertical stripes, vintage look, Chinese designs and wooden look stripes. A newer collection will début in the autumn of 2008 called aleXsandro Palombo by CERVIN Paris. The talents of the Italian designer combined with the tradition of Cervin, will make a noteworthy luxury haute couture accessory. Using prestigious embroideries, high quality cashmeres and the finest silk weaves, this will be a must-have collection to adore.

I still prefer Secrets In Lace for Nylon Stockings, though.
