Bio-based tights. Made in Italy.
Belle is a California family business making bio-based ballet tights — knit seamlessly in Italy from castor oil and non-food corn instead of petroleum, engineered to outlast conventional nylon, and priced with the incumbents at $15.

Why it matters
Roughly 10 million pairs of conventional nylon tights are discarded in the US every year — about 274 metric tons of virgin petroleum plastic.
Bio-based tights engineered to outperform and outlast conventional nylon options means fewer pairs bought, and fewer thrown away, while reducing emissions and the use of non-renewable resources. That’s the bet behind Belle Tights.
Why Belle
Performance. Comfort. Family.
Premium Performance
With natural bacteriostatic odor prevention, EVO® yarn recovers better than nylon, dries 50% faster, and weighs 25% less, while LYCRA® FUSION™ technology prevents ladders and runs.
Seamless Comfort
Belle Studio Tights are completely seamless with self-knit comfort waistbands, mesh privacy gusset, reinforced arch openings, and hand-linked toes — and tag-free, with the size and care details knitted right into the waistband so nothing scratches or itches.
Family Friendly
Belle was started by a ballet dancer and her parents with a mission to create the best performing ballet tights at the lowest possible price while reducing negative environmental impact.
Care
Made to last, cared for simply
Machine wash cold on gentle, or hand wash cold for maximum life. Hang or lay flat to dry — no tumble drying, bleach, iron, or fabric softener. It’s the same care conventional tights ask for; Belle is simply made to repay it far longer.
