These are silk-blend sheer socks. The color is black. The pattern is a deep red anemone, which is lovely ♥ My three points of pride are ✨ ① No pattern on the instep. Since shoes are the main focus of your feet, I personally always choose ones without patterns on the instep. ② Silk blend Just like with clothing, the addition of silk makes them smooth and less sticky ✨ These are a blend of rayon, nylon, and silk. ③ Made in Japan It's not that foreign-made products are bad, but I believe that Japanese-made products have fewer duds. ❀ Size 22-24 cm ✿ To offer them at the lowest possible price, I will remove the clear inner backing when shipping. If you wish to keep it as is, please leave a comment. There will be an additional charge. ✿ Shipping will be via standard mail without insurance. If you are concerned, please leave a comment to change to a shipping method with insurance for an additional fee.
