Tights from Turkey

Thanks, PH

It is interesting to see how tights are marketed and packaged elewhere in the world. For tights from an Islamic country, there is a very un-Islamic looking young lady on the package here!

These tights are marketed as 'Italian' in some way. I imagine tekstüre means 'texture' or something similar. I wasn't able to tell whether the tights were made in Italy (where a lot of hosiery is made) or whether they were actually made in Turkey. Can you tell?

Maybe to complete the review, you could ask your sister to comment on what the tights were like, please.

I found a link to this brand of hosiery: I cannot understand a word, but the picture makes up for that.

The link you gave pointed to a very slow site. It took me some 5 minutes to see the page ! Like you, I don't understand most of the words, except "Lycra" which is written several times. The thing is that I can't ask my brother-in-law. He is a kurd, which language is completely different from turkish. He would certainly be able to give me a trustful and complete translation (to give you an example, he set up the language of his cellphone's menu in turkish - I am lost, each time I want to explain him some feature on his telephone), but he would wonder why I may have an interest about things like hosiery !

The brand name is "Teksture italiana". I don't know whether it is manufactured in Italy or in Turkey, but it may also be nothing but a commercial name. To give you an example, "Philippe Matignon" and "Pierre Mantoux" look a great deal like french names, but it is 100% italian brands.

While the link you gave above tried to load, I went to the maker's site (link). The address was written on the pictures of the article, but unfortunately, given the small scale at which I supplied the pictures, you were unable to notice it ! You will certainly see that, like on the packet seen above and like you pointed it out, the models are dressed the same way than for western european hosiery brands.
