Leg Wear International UK, manufacturer of Silky and Couture hosiery.

Silky Hosiery Ltd was founded in 1997, by Allan Falconer, who’s history and experience has always been in the textile and hosiery sector. During the 1970's, Allan was the Production Director for a Courtaulds Fabric Mill. He then moved into the hosiery trade in 1985 and has been involved in legwear ever since. Initially Allan was the Chief Executive of the South African Hosiery Company and in 1994 was transferred to the UK to head Pretty Polly Ltd. With over 20 years experience in legwear he has now taken Silky hosiery from a zero base and the business has grown year on year in both turnover and profit and now encompasses five hosiery brands.
