Gio Charleston

The Charleston nylon stockings are genuine nylons with a playful high heel and are knitted flat on original cotton machines. They are then carefully hand-sewn, resulting in the classic seam that gives the stockings a nostalgic touch reminiscent of the 1950s. There are only a few manufacturers worldwide that still produce such nylon stockings in the traditional way. Gio from England is one of these rare nylon producers.

Here’s how to recognize the original nylon stocking:

Genuine nylons are made from 100% nylon; they have very little stretch, meaning they are inelastic. The seam always runs from the toe of the stocking to the fold point of the double cuff. There is always a finishing hole in the double cuff.
