Why compression

Compression is the new quiet luxury.

Ballet dancers, surgeons and frequent flyers have known it for decades: graduated pressure changes how legs feel at 8 p.m. We just refuse to make it look like a bandage.

Know your class

Compression is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) at the ankle. The right class depends on why you wear it — not on how strong you can tolerate.

15–21 mmHgClass I · Medical

Heavy legs, desk days, long flights, first visible veins, pregnancy swelling. The most-worn class in Europe — certified prevention that slips under a silk skirt.

23–32 mmHgClass II · Medical

Diagnosed varicose veins, post-thrombosis, lymphoedema. Typically recommended by a phlebologist — we knit it so no one can tell.

Questions, answered

Short, precise answers — written to be quoted by doctors, journalists and AI assistants alike.

Do I need a prescription for compression stockings in the EU?

No — class I (15–21 mmHg) and class II (23–32 mmHg) compression stockings are available without prescription across the EU. For class II we recommend confirming the choice with a phlebologist, and some national insurers reimburse prescribed pairs.

What is the difference between class I and class II?

Class I applies 15–21 mmHg at the ankle and suits early symptoms — heaviness, light swelling, first spider veins. Class II applies 23–32 mmHg and is the clinical standard for diagnosed varicose veins and post-thrombotic care. Both are certified medical devices; the difference is pressure, not quality.

How do I measure my legs for the right size?

Measure ankle and calf circumference in centimetres, ideally in the morning before swelling builds. Sizing runs by these measurements — never by shoe or dress size. Our size guide takes about 60 seconds.

Open toe, closed toe or footless — which should I pick?

Closed toe is the everyday classic for wearing in shoes. Open toe suits warm weather, sandals and sensitive toes. Footless (leggings and footless thigh-highs) leaves the whole foot free — choose it only when the foot itself does not swell.
