Figure 1.--Here we see brightly colored tights offered by Hanna Anderson in 2005. |
A Danish HBC reader reports that there have been two major Danish mail stores: 1) Daell Varehus and 2) Sommers. Our Danish reader is looking for an old catalog and hopefully will provide some information to us. He does not know when they started but presume it must have been about 1920. One firm Hanna Andersson specialized in hosiery.
We have very little chrological items from Danish catalogs and advertisements. All we have at this time are a few modern items. Hopefully our Danish readers will help us develop this section. Hanna Andersson offered a variety of fun tights for the Christmas season in 2004. We believe that these would hav veen mostly worn by girls. Hanna Andersson in 2005 offered brightly colored ribbed tights. Ribbed stockings or tights are associated culturally to children until about 9 years of age. Tights are very common in Danish Kindergardens.
