GIVENCHY (Ideal Co., Ltd. (Japanese licensee for hosiery)) - Sheer Support Tights

This product is a pair of sheer support tights from the luxury French fashion house Givenchy, produced for the Japanese market. The packaging indicates it was manufactured by Naigai Co., Ltd. under a licensee agreement with Givenchy by Ideal Co., Ltd., a common practice in Japan during the late 20th and early 21st centuries for luxury brands to offer accessible hosiery lines through local partners. The retail price of ¥600, along with the packaging style and licensing model, suggests a production period likely between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s.

The tights come in a minimalist white cardboard packaging, protected by a clear plastic sleeve. The front features the iconic GIVENCHY PARIS logo and a split color swatch illustrating two options, although the specific item in this package is identified as "55 ピーチベージュ" (55 Peach Beige). The packaging highlights several key features in Japanese: "高感度な はき心地" (Sophisticated comfortable feel), "美しい透明感" (Beautiful transparency/sheerness), "SCYゾッキ" (SCY Zokki knit), "サポートパワー" (Support power), "マチ付" (Gusseted), "切替なし" (Seamless at the panty line), and "つま先補強" (Reinforced toe). SCY (Spun Covered Yarn) Zokki refers to a high-quality knitting technique common in Japanese hosiery, using elastic yarn wrapped with nylon for superior sheerness, elasticity, and durability, typically indicating a denier in the 15-20 range.

The tights are designed for a comfortable and smooth fit, offering light support and a sheer finish, making them suitable for everyday wear or more formal occasions. The listed materials are ナイロン (Nylon) and ポリウレタン (Polyurethane), a standard blend for modern hosiery providing both strength and stretch. The size is S, for individuals with a height of 145-155 cm and hips of 80-88 cm. This vintage Givenchy hosiery, sold through department stores like Mitsukoshi in Japan, represents a blend of high fashion branding with practical, quality everyday wear.
