Over 2 billion pairs of disposable tights are tossed into landfills every year.
Avoid conventional stockings since they are made with Synthetic Materials and are responsible for Microplastic Pollution These stockings are made from petroleum-based fabrics like nylon, polyester, and elastane. These materials shed microplastics during washing, releasing thousands of microfibers into waterways that harm marine life and enter the food chain. An estimated 8 billion tights are discarded annually, contributing to landfill waste that takes centuries to decompose.
Nylon production releases nitrous oxide (a potent greenhouse gas), while PFAS and microplastics contaminate water systems.
❌ Material: nylon, polyester, and elastane
Stockings may undergo additional treatments with:
❌ Flame retardants: Linked to respiratory issues and skin irritation.
❌ Antimicrobial agents: Introduce toxins through prolonged skin contact.
❌ Azo dyes: Release carcinogenic aromatic amines
Avoid greenwashing stockings made by brands that pretend to be safer, sustainable, or eco-friendly when they are not. They will use their deceiving marketing tricks to convince you to buy their products.
They may use a sustainability claim without proving it.
Here in California, residents get warned about toxic substances:
BPA in Socks: In 2022, the first legal settlement under Prop 65 addressed socks made of polyester and spandex containing bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical linked to developmental and reproductive harm. Manufacturers must provide warnings if products expose consumers to listed chemicals
PFAS Restrictions: California’s Safer Consumer Products program regulates treatments containing perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which may apply to water-resistant finishes in textiles
Choose only organic and sustainable stockings that are third-party tested. They use certified organic cotton.
✅ GOTS Certified Organic Cotton: The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. The standard covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading, and distribution of all textiles made from at least 70% certified organic natural fibers. The aim of the standard is to ensure the organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing, up to labeling.
✅ Approved Dyes: Stockings that are low-impact dyes, meaning they are made with less water, less heat, no formaldehyde, no carcinogens or mutagens versus their conventional socks. They meet the stringent dyeing standards in the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), meaning they are the most environmentally dyes available!

🌿Like any of your delicates, you will always want to handle your premium Italian hosiery from VienneMilano with extra care.
Always be gentle when putting on your thigh highs and when taking them off.
Gently wash your VienneMilano hosiery either by hand or in the washing machine in a garment bag.
If you are using your washing machine, pick the gentlest setting, and use cold water only.
After washing, lay your thigh highs flat (on a towel, for example) to air dry.
Do not hang your thigh highs, as the weight of the water will make them stretch out of shape.
