STORY

As a regular tights wearer, Fabienne, the fouder and CEO of AYMA, recognised a personal need while wearing common tights. Common tights are uncomfortable in closed shoes such as sneakers or boots, break quickly and cause unpleasant odours, especially in the foot area. Fabienne was searching for tights with an integrated sock part, but couldn’t find one, so her mission was clear: to create sustainable tights with an integrated sock part!

During research and development, Fabienne quickly realized that common tights are produced using a petroleum-based manufacturing process. She is convinced that the world not only needs more inventive, but as well environmentally conscious products to lead the way to greater sustainability. It was clear to her to either find a sustainable alternative or drop her project idea. Fortunately, she found a recycled nylon fibre and proudly launched the first tights with an integrated sock part in 2021. We call it the 2 in 1 function. This extraordinary and unique comfort feature is AYMA’s trademark. A new generation of tights has been created through our innovation.
