I had tights like this once. I got drunk and fell down an escalator.

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.

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?

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….

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.

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

They cost $85 dollars because the wolverine rental place for that authentic mauled by a woodland creature doesn’t come cheap.
