Alessia Printed High-Waist Leggings
The print
Printed high-waist leggings, drawn not stamped
The pattern is printed into the knit rather than screened on top, so it does not crack across the knee.
Up close, the linework changes texture between the thigh and the calf.
The monochrome grid reads almost architectural; the botanical prints are softer and prettier. They are easy to love.
The waist
A band that stays where you put it
The wide waistband sits above the navel and holds its position through a squat or a long walk.
It smooths the line under a fitted top, with no drawcord and no seam at the front.
The band is one continuous piece. It feels secure and comfortable from morning to evening, whether you are at the gym or out for the day.
The fit
Gym, and not only the gym
The dense four-way stretch holds its shape through a class and stays opaque when you bend.
Measured flat, the waist is 58 cm on the S up to 74 cm on the XL; XXL continues the grade.

From Maria & Denis
Printed high-waist leggings for when plain black starts to feel like a uniform — a botanical drawing over the thigh, fine lines below the knee and a single dark seam line down the outside that pulls the whole leg vertical.
Botanical white, monochrome or botanical multi, in sizes S to XXL.

Why you will love it
A designed print, not activewear with a logo.
A dense four-way stretch knit.
A wide high waistband.
A flattering vertical seam line.
Three prints, sizes S to XXL.
Fabric & care
Polyester knit with spandex through it. That combination is what gives the four-way stretch and the quick drying; it is also why the print stays put.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out, with similar colours. Do not use fabric softener — it coats the fibres and takes the stretch out over time. Hang to dry; they are dry in a couple of hours. No tumble dryer, no iron on the print.
Size guide
Measured flat and unstretched. The knit gives a great deal, so read these as where the pair starts rather than as your own measurements.
| Size | Length, cm | Waist, cm | Hip, cm | Inside leg, cm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 91 | 58 | 79 | 68 |
| M | 92 | 62 | 83 | 68.5 |
| L | 93 | 68 | 89 | 69 |
| XL | 94 | 74 | 95 | 69.5 |
The table runs to XL; XXL continues the same grade.
If you are between two sizes, take the smaller for a firm compressive fit and the larger if you would rather they sat lightly.
