Velis Drop #002
Bronze brown is the new black for Fall 2025.
Velis #002 brings shimmery, glowing fall tones to your legs. It is not enough to look – one also touch – #002 is a sensual masterpiece. From the moment you slide your toes into them, notice their distinctive silky caress as they come up your legs. While you are out tonight in #002, run your fingers softly up the length of your legs. Notice how your nerve endings light up. And, notice how your lover cannot stop staring. Let them look. Let them touch. Let them become intoxicated with the sensuality you are exuding.
May you be unforgettable on these fall nights, dear.

Welcome To The Circle
You now belong to a select company – those who know. Those who see hosiery not as a throwaway accessory, but as a sensual instrument of elegance, confidence, and rebellion. You are part of a higher class of hosiery culture, where each pair is treated with reverence and each wear becomes an experience. A mindset. A way of moving through the night.
The Wearing Ritual
There is a right way to slip into your Velis – one that heightens both their lifespan and your pleasure. Slow down. This is a moment to savor.
Prepare your legs:
Treat yourself to silky smooth skin before you slide into your Velis. Your legs will thank you- freshly shaven legs + fine hosiery = one of life’s finer pleasures.You’ve had laser hair removal? You lucky girl… you are made for this moment.
Prepare your hands:
Remove rings, smooth any rough nails, and feel your fingertips glide clean over your skin.
Go slow, babe:
That first moment can be the most exquisite. You know how it is. 😉
Gather, don’t stretch — Roll one leg of the hosiery all the way down to the toe, nestle your foot in, then guide the fabric up in small, even pulls.
Drink in the sensation:
Notice the way they hug your toes, skim over your arches, draw tight to your calves. Feel them climb, shaping your thighs, wrapping your hips, cupping your ass. Drop #001 glides like sex up your legs – indulge in it.
It’s time to get a little bit wet:
This will change your life: rather than pinching and pulling to adjust your hosier, get your palms slightly wet. Place your palms on each side of your leg. Notice how your slightly wet hands naturally grip the nylon – gently pull up, pressing your palms into your legs, until they feel perfect.
You deserve some foreplay:
The more care you give this moment, the longer your pair will live, and the more power you’ll feel wearing them.

The Care Ritual
There is a right way to slip into your Velis – one that heightens both their lifespan and your pleasure. Slow down. This is a moment to savor.
Use Your Hands:
Velis are a delicate item with a limited lifespan. Wash your hosiery by hand, in cool water, with a delicates-specific soap (like Woolite).
Air Your (now clean) Dirty Laundry:
Hang dry your hosiery.
No Machines Allowed
Never put your hosiery into the washing machine or dryer.
Simple.
Keep the magic alive
As you gently place them into your hosiery drawer – give them a light spritz of your favorite perfume. When you pull them out next time, you will have prepared the stage for your next act of seduction. It’s the little things, dear.

The First Night Guarantee
If your Velis are damaged during your very first wear — whether as you’re dressing or in the opening hours of your night — we’ll replace them, no questions asked.
Simply send a photo and your order number within 48 hours of that first wear.
Because each Drop is a limited edition, the exact pair you received may no longer be available at the time of replacement. In that case, you’ll receive an equally rare pair from the Velis Hosiery vault- something of equal or greater value.
After the first night, they’ve begun their life with you – and what happens next is between you and your Velis. And, like all beautiful affairs, their time will be finite. Drink it up.
Let's Talk
FAQ
What is Velis?
Velis is a curated hosiery experience.
Each pair is chosen, prepared, and sent with intention – like a gift from a lover who actually understands you.
We don’t sell pantyhose.
We sell what it feels like to move through the world as a sensual, powerful woman.
Who is Velis for?
Velis is for women.
Not theoretically. Not aspirationally.
Women.
She’s grown. She’s grounded. She has exquisite taste.
She doesn’t need a logo to feel worthy — she already is.
She buys nice things because they match her frequency.
She reads care cards. She lights candles. She shaves slowly. She wears heels for herself.
She doesn’t ask for permission.
She doesn’t need a man — but she knows how to handle one when he’s worth her time.
She’s not here for community. She’s here for connection.
If you see yourself in that… welcome.
You’re exactly who we’ve been waiting for.
How do Velis drops work?
In the fashion world – a “drop” is a product release with a limited quantity and finite availability. When they are gone, they are gone, never to be re-stocked. Drops are an opportunity to have a unique, exclusive product experience.
Velis drops are numbered: 001, 002, 003, etc.
We conduct a drop once every several weeks.
Velis drops typically sell out within 48 hours of being released to the public.

Can men wear Velis?
Of course.
A “real man” doesn’t ask permission to dress the way he wants to – he just does it.
If you’re a man and these speak to you, put them on.
Feel what you feel. You don’t need our permission.
Just understand: you’re a guest here.
This experience wasn’t made for you.
It was made by a man, for women.
That’s not a contradiction.
That’s the point.
Why don't you use men or non-binary models?
Because Velis isn’t a political or social movement –
It’s a love letter.
Our founder, Paul Duane, believes deeply in the beauty of the binary:
The difference between black and white. Night and day.
Male and female.
(If that resonates, you may enjoy this essay from his blog.)
Like any luxury product or experience, Velis isn’t designed for everyone.
That’s what buffet food is for – and we don’t eat at buffets.
Velis is a boutique lifestyle experience.
It has been crafted with one kind of person in mind.
It’s about honoring her.
A celebration of the elegance of femininity, the gravity of ritual, and the quiet power of a woman who dresses like she understands who she really is.
There are plenty of brands that want to be everything to everyone.
If you’re reading this, you probably already know who they are.
Can Velis be given as a gift?
Only if you know exactly what you’re doing.
Velis is not your typical “thoughtful little gift.”
It is far more than a pair of pantyhose – it is an experience.
Velis is erotic by design.
Not crude. Not pornographic. But undeniably intimate.
Each element is meant to awaken something in a woman’s mind, body, and soul – and possibly yours.
So if you’re thinking about giving Velis to a woman in your life, consider this:
- Would you give her an expensive sex toy?
- Would you gift her a subscription to sensual, female-oriented literature?
- Would you be okay if this gift transported her inner world into a place that may or may not involve you?
If not – send her flowers.
Velis arrives sealed.
We suggest you don’t break that seal unless you’re the one experiencing them.
Otherwise, this is something a woman treats herself to.
I've seen Paul Duane in nylons and heels. Is he trying to "normalize" men wearing those things?
No.
I have zero interest in “normalizing” anything.
The idea of “normalizing” often comes from fear.
It’s an unspoken request for permission.
It’s a strategy used by people still hoping the outside world will validate something they haven’t fully owned within themselves.
Nothing could be further from Soul Anarchy.
A Soul Anarchist lives life on his or her own terms.
That means not asking for permission.
Not checking to see if anyone approves.
Velis is not about making something acceptable.
It’s about making something exquisite.
If you’re a man who resonates with this — great. Buy them. Wear them.
But don’t expect the world to clap.
