Niqkita's Sock Journal

These sweeties are called Antoinette Knee Highs and I adore them! if I did not own a sock business and saw these for sale I’d buy them in a second! and the best part is that I was not one bit disappointed when I tried them on, they go on with ease, the netting around the feet is finer so your toes stay put, the tops aren’t too tight yet they totally stay up (the stretch is good so I think most of us can wear these), the ties are stretchy and start at the backs of the ankles just above the heels so you can wrap them up & around and tie them pretty much anywhere you want and if for any reason you don’t want them they could easily & safely be cut off. The black has been selling really well since I added them yesterday, but the cream & red are really pretty too, it’s not a super bright red, berriest is its name and it’s just right! I already have more on order and have been told the supply should hold out, I’m also trying to convince the woman with the sexy voice at Chinese Laundry to get these made in a thigh high for us! She says the designer isn’t so sure it will work, but I think it will…

Tie Front Thigh Highs are soft stretchy socks that pulled right up and stayed up nicely without digging in, the satin ribbons are attached at the backs and tie up pretty in the front. The ribbon is not stretchy, I think that would be a plus but since they aren’t required for keeping the socks up it works out okay, they fell just a bit, maybe if I tied them tighter they’d stay higher, either way they are darned cute and remind me of the cute garters EG made me many months ago. I look forward to hearing from those of you who have bought these, we sold quite a few today and I just added them last night.

The Ballerina Thigh HIghs looked so adorable when I first put them on! Wow, I thought I was in love, I ran back out into the cold to take some pictures, but as soon as I got out and looked down they were at my knees! I tried to pull them back up but had to untie them, rewrap & retie, took some cute shots for their page, took a couple more steps to grab my camera off the tripod and down they went so I shot the picture above. I’m sure they could be pinned up so I went ahead and added them to the site with my stern warning and did not sell a pair all day. I think if they had stretchy ribbons they would totally work and I’m hoping that I am just totally missing something. When I called in my order for more of their fantastic leg warmers and more of the wondrous Antoinettes we discussed this issue, she is going to call me back after the designer explains how they are meant to work.
