The packaging uses the bilingual term 'Bas-Collants', the French word for tights, alongside the English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHosiery was one of the earliest categories Christian Dior placed under licence. The house was founded in 1946 and, from 1948, began agreements that carried its name beyond couture; the first licence for stockings in the United States followed in 1949, and by 1950 the Dior name appeared on a wide range of accessories, from ties and gloves to scarves and handbags. Licensed hosiery made the house accessible to a far wider public than its couture salons, and by the 1980s, under Marc Bohan's artistic direction, Dior tights were sold in a broad range of fashion colours and patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese tights are in a saffron shade and carry the Double Dash design named on the packaging. They are one size, with measurements given on the packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDior hosiery of this period is a small but telling part of the house's history: it records how a couture name was carried into everyday dressing through licensing, and the colour names and packaging are characteristic of their decade. Original packaged examples interest collectors of Dior licensed goods and of 1980s accessories, and are useful to stylists and costume departments working on the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage new: never worn, in the original sealed packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Archivary ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58082093138300,"sku":"TA-DIO-0115","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/9433\/2408\/files\/IMG_0972.jpg?v=1793294907","url":"https:\/\/www.thearchivary.com\/products\/1980s-christian-dior-double-dash-design-tights-bas-collants-saffron-one-size","provider":"The Archivary ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
