The History Of Cervin Hosiery As early as the 1920’s, Germain Massal the founder made silk-stockings that he dispatched in luxury boxes to the Royal and Imperial Courts of Europe. This, the « industrial » story of the Massal family started and has lasted now for 3 generations. Cervin has been rooted in the wild natural countryside since that time. Located an hour’s drive from the towns of Montpellier and Nîmes and the Mediterranean coast, the company is the last 100% French manufacturer. Knitting of genuine fully-fashioned stockings with « COTTON » machines, 3D type. Flat knitting started in 1864 ; presently their 2 machines, Reading type, are the only 2 still running in Continental Europe from Gibraltar to Vladivostock. This artistic type of know how was disappearing from the planet: Cervin has been able to revive it, quite a challenge! Stockings knitted nowadays on fully-fashioned machines, 3 D type, are well adapted to the shape of the leg, the meshes are identical from the top to the toe-end, they are perfectly fitting and available in 5 sizes. Now they are able to recreate collections and special designs of stitches which had become an exclusivity for museums and private collectors.

Their genuine seam stocking « Tentation » is the stocking of « HAUTE COUTURE » because: it’s fully-fashioned it makes the leg look longer, thinner, more sexy it’s elegant because of its narrow heel well adapted to light shoes.

They will not stay up by themselves. Hold-Up or Stay-Up stockings are stockings with silicone grips inside the tops that help to prevent them from slipping down the legs, are meant to be worn without a garter belt but because the stockings may still slip down the leg, a garter belt will ensure they stay up.
