Sheer 30 den tights carrying a tattoo-style inscription on one leg only, at the ankle and the thigh — a single placed motif rather than an all-over repeat, so the two legs do not match.
Highlights
✓
Asymmetric by design: Conte places the motif on one leg, at the ankle and thigh area, and leaves the other leg plain. That is the whole idea, and it is worth understanding before it arrives — a mismatched pair is not a fault here.
✓
Conte calls the motif an inscription — lettering, in other words — but never publishes what it says, in what language, in what typeface or at what size. On a product whose entire appeal is the wording, that is the gap that matters most. Judge it from the photographs, or ask us.
✓
The listing contradicts itself on how the motif is made: the title says "tattoo style print", while the description calls it a "black polyamide inscription" — and polyamide is a yarn, not an ink. Conte does not settle whether it is knitted in or printed on, so neither can we.
✓
90% polyamide, 10% elastane, and the only patterned Conte tight stocked here that specifies double covered yarn alongside a flat seam, a cotton gusset and a reinforced toe. Conte does not explain what the double covered yarn changes.
✓
Two colourways, Nero Black and Bronze Tan, in Conte sizes 2 to 5 — and the inscription is stated as black in both. How black lettering reads against the Nero Black ground is not something the listing addresses, so the Bronze Tan is the version where the contrast is predictable.
This is the only placed-motif tight among the Conte patterns stocked here — everything else is a repeat. Conte Alba Fantasy Tights and Conte Graphic Fantasy Tights are both 50 den all-over geometrics, Conte Ingrid Fantasy Tights puts a geometric on a 20 den ground, Conte Luxe Dots Fantasy Tights uses lurex thread with a dotted repeat, and Conte Optic Fantasy Tights changes density mid-leg to imitate an over-the-knee sock. At 30 den this sits at the sheer end of that group. All of them are still being set up here.
For plain sheer instead, Conte Top Soft 40 Den is the straightforward option, and Conte Active Soft 40 Den adds a denser knitted shorts section. More in the hosiery collection or the wider women's department.
90% polyamide, 10% elastane. 30 den. Sizes S (2), M (3), L (4) and XL (5). Colours: Nero Black, Bronze Tan. Black inscription on one leg at the ankle and thigh, double covered yarn, flat seam, cotton gusset, reinforced toe. Conte states only "Made in Europe" — no country of manufacture is named. Not published on this listing: what the inscription actually says, its language, typeface or size, which leg carries it, whether it is knitted in or printed, what the double covered yarn is for, the height-and-weight grid behind sizes 2 to 5, and washing or care instructions. Contact us and we will ask Conte for the wording, the size grid and the care label before you order.
