Ambra Hook-Ons

Detail from packet

Stop press 18/2/2005. Just as stockings have almost completely disappeared from the shops, a new variant has appeared – Ambra Hook-Ons. These consist of a panty with a single tape loop on the outside front of each leg, together with a pair of stockings with a very narrow welt, to which is attached a bra hook, on another short tape loop. The slogan on the package is for those of us who have a love hate relationship with pantyhose - a sexy new alternative!

They are made in China, and distributed by the Ambra Corporation Pty Ltd (presumably an Australian company). There were large displays of them in both David Jones and Myer stores in the city of Melbourne.

I can't see either the girdle or the stocking fanciers being in the least excited by this news. It will be interesting to see if they appeal to the kids.
