Passion Nova daring stockings in recycled nylon

These bold Nova stockings appeal to me because of their honest proposition: a sexy piece with no compromise on ethics. The Passion brand developed this eco-friendly collection by incorporating high-quality recycled materials, which is a refreshing change from so-called “eco” lingerie where greenwashing dominates. ECONYL regenerated nylon comes from recovered fishing nets—real circular recycling, not just a marketing claim.

Eco-friendly material and textile performance

What I like about this model is the sincerity of its composition: 83% Aquafil ECONYL regenerated nylon + 17% Asahi Kasel ROICA™ V550 degradable elastane. These two materials are certified according to the international GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and OEKO-TEX standards, meaning there are independent controls on chemical substances and traceability. No greenwashing, just verifiable facts.

Recycled nylon offers natural elasticity—the stockings hug the skin without pulling, while ROICA™ elastane provides immediate recovery after stretching. Between us, it is the same technology used in classic high-end stockings, except that here you reduce your water footprint by 56% during manufacturing.

Features and everyday wear

One size for this model. The stockings are designed to fit most body types thanks to the elastane in the fiber. Here is what I observed according to the technical specifications:

• Hypoallergenic—formulated to limit the risk of skin allergies
• No color fading—the recycled fiber retains its original color
• No dye bleeding during washing—natural dyes and processes with reduced volatile substances
• Confirmed durability—ECONYL nylon withstands repeated use
• Easy care—machine washing is possible without risk of deterioration

Passion Eco Collection—concrete commitments

Passion’s Eco collection is based on several measurable reductions: 56% less water used compared with conventional textile production, reduced CO2 emissions, natural dyes, and zero hazardous volatile substances. This is not empty marketing—these claims are validated by third-party certifications (GRS, OEKO-TEX). I place this type of product in the “responsible lingerie without sacrificing quality” category.

The design remains bold despite the eco-friendly approach—strappy brief, polished finish, contemporary aesthetic. What interests me is that Passion did not choose between sexy and sustainable: they achieved both. Find more pieces based on this philosophy in our lingerie collection.

Who it is for and who it is not for

Who it is for: You, if you are looking for sexy lingerie WITHOUT ecological guilt. If you like natural/recycled materials. If you want bold, adaptable one-size stockings. If hypoallergenic properties matter for your sensitive skin. If you value third-party certifications (GRS, OEKO-TEX) over vague promises.

Who it is not for: If you are looking for a range of sizes S/M/L/XL (this model is one size). If you prefer stockings with visible seams or complex patterns (this one is minimalist). If you need stockings with integrated garter straps, explore our other models from the lingerie collection.

A girlfriend’s tip— Wash these stockings in cold or lukewarm water to preserve the color and elasticity. The advantage of recycled nylon is that it is not bothered by repeated washing—you do not need to keep them in the closet like a rare piece.
