How the hell would you put those on? It’s bad enough getting your foot in tights with no holes.
I hope there’s an embellished rip at the clam, just so I could show off my clot soaked vampire face.
What I find fascinating is that it doesn’t appear that she did anything to the back of the tights. From behind you just appear slightly foolish with the short skirt, when viewed from the front all doubt is removed and you look completely foolish.
You know after the first time a pair of nylons, stockings or tights are worn they feel used. I can only imagine what a wonderful feeling putting these nylons would be knowing that at least one other person already wore them. $85 for used nylons? And it’s not exactly like they appear to be anything but flimsy.
I cant see any reason to charge $85 for ripped up, used tights. Even with the embellishments – Looks like that button comb tore through the nylon and left its buttons behind.
Because you wouldn’t want to damage your $85 ruined tights with the gluegunned rhinestones on them in your machine. Just imagine the look on your drycleaner’s face when you told him to be extra careful with these babies.
I get that these might be fashionable in some circles. But they seem to me like 1-time wear tights, if they make it all night. Too delicate. Therefore I can see someone paying $5 or $15 for them…sure, it’d work for that one special party with people who’d think they’re awesome (I guess, if you’re not me). But $85? Damn.
I know why these are $85. They have been paired with $1500 awesome (not on her, though) Ann Demeulemeester shoes. The $3 ripped tights covered in sparkly shit gained value by proximity. Wearing them, however, will cheapen you beyond comprehension.
#26 has it right. The ripped tights are complete rubbish, but those shoes are awesome. If sexy vampire menstrual pad guy was a real person, he’d be nailing the model wearing these shoes.
While I’ll admit that I kind of like them a little bit… for $85, I’ll rip and bedazzle my own dollar store tights, thanks. They’ve got to be hell to get on.
My first thought, like others here was “how would you even put these ON?” Next, I am thinking that to overpay for something you could easily make yourself–especially when it’s pretty clear you will likely only get one use out of the garment is crazy!
On one hand, I would love to meet the sucker who would buy these. On the other hand, I went to art school. I’ve already met scores of suckers — I mean people. You know, “I can barely afford the mac’n'cheese and liquor — but I gots to get me these! Anybody got loose change? Help a sister out!”
Now I have seen it all! A night out getting plastered and ripping up your nylons gets you $85.00 and qualifies you as a “designer”… Quick, everyone put on yer nylons and run around tanked ’till you fall down, then list your pre-worn nylons on Etsy!!!
Sigh. I used to wear tights like these. But I never thought of gluing crap on them. You can wear them more than once, but you have to be able to stand on one leg to get them off… CAREfully.
I prefer the more environmentally friendly version where you eat a hot pizza with lots of stringy cheese and small toppings, but without a plate. No hot glue, or sewing needed, but with the possibility of a visit to casualty.Prollem is, getting the damned things off your scarred and blistered legs…. well, maybe it wasn’t such a good idea….
I have to respectfully disagree with y’all. I think they’re kind of amazing, the only thing that made me raise an eyebrow is the price, but that’s the kind of item that market creates a demand for. High fashion is always easy to make fun of. I really don’t think these belong here.
ok, as a female, i can tell you this- wearing nylons all day your feet can get sweaty…so, basically her ‘vinegar nubs’ have already christened these stockings for you…yuck no thank you. and 85 bucks? they are not high fashion…this might be a kate moss crack model look, but not a real-life look! and kate moss is actually too good of a compliment for these ratty things
i have to say they look great, except you’d only be able to wear them once most likely. taking them off would wreck them, and so would putting them on. of course i do mean “wreck” in a figurative sense.

They cost $85 dollars because the wolverine rental place for that authentic mauled by a woodland creature doesn’t come cheap.
October 20, 2009 at 1:41 pm
For that authentic used-up meth addict look….
October 20, 2009 at 1:43 pm
EIGHTY FIVE DOLLARS? jesus i’m sitting on a nylon goldmine and didn’t know it.
October 20, 2009 at 1:43 pm
$3 back pantyhose + $20 Turtle in the Garden ring = $23 for embellished tights
October 20, 2009 at 1:43 pm
bulimic model not included.

You mean that I can save the beer money and the humility just buy the tights? Sold.

Okay, I’m starting to crush on Annette.

AnnetteCurtain I was just thinking the same thing. Minus the clot soakage. lol.

And these made the “daily best” too!
October 20, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Annette you are one sick puppy…I like it, I like it a lot!
October 20, 2009 at 2:04 pm
These ripped tights will go great with my Amy Winehouse gutterwhore ensemble.
October 20, 2009 at 2:06 pm

October 20, 2009 at 2:20 pm
seriously, how would you even get these on?
October 20, 2009 at 2:31 pm
“Coco, hurry up and take the picture, man. I can’t stand up … jeez, what the hell is wrong with you? Find the goddamned button, dude.”
October 20, 2009 at 2:37 pm
awwww this will really glam up the hookers by the bar
October 20, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Go Annette!

What skill do I lack that I can’t think of such easy and crappy things to sell on Etsy, where feeling seems to count more than actual quality?
Somebody start an Etsy Success Correspondence Course!
October 20, 2009 at 3:51 pm
I am really fighting the urge to message this seller and ask what the fuck she thinks shes doing selling used tights for $85.
October 20, 2009 at 3:52 pm
She’s expressing herself, of course. WHO ARE YOU to question her?
October 20, 2009 at 4:36 pm
What a waste of crystals!

Pretentious hipster “upcycling” bs.
October 20, 2009 at 5:56 pm
What to wear to the hipster ho-down . . .
October 20, 2009 at 6:54 pm
oh for chrissakes!
October 20, 2009 at 7:27 pm
AND they come with the model’s cooties. What a bargain!!! Cause no way they could be washed before sending them on to you.
October 20, 2009 at 7:44 pm

is it just me or does the girl in that picture have freakishly long legs?

What i couldn’t believe was that they were posted on the etsy finds email.
October 21, 2009 at 12:09 am
Do they also have a knitted vagina at the crotch? ‘Cos I’m not buying them unless they have a knitted vagina on. Hmph.
October 21, 2009 at 2:32 am
God forbid if the “designer” had been using the recyclable toilet paper and/or maxi pads. Oh I just threw up a little.
October 21, 2009 at 2:41 am
Wait wait wait! She shows you how to MAKE these yourself on her blog. Yes, I looked at her blog…and lost a few brain cells. http://bit.ly/3PToCx
October 21, 2009 at 3:47 am
Can someone please buy these so the poor girl can afford a ham sandwich.

What the fuck is “high fashion” about these tights? High on crak perhaps.

I think these look hot. However, I think you could achieve the same look with a pair of stockings and a slightly demented wolverine.
