Sometimes you can't improve on a classic and Esmée is the living proof. A short glove in suede with three points on the back of the hand, fourchettes and welt in leather to provide a dash of contrast. Fashion is for the moment, true style is forever. Lined in pure silk.
Wrist Length. 2 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Ethiopian Cabretta Suede is the rarest of leathers — drawn from hair sheep raised in the highlands, where thin air and open pasture produce hides of exceptional fineness. Light yet resilient, its nap is velvety, its grain invisible, its touch unmistakable. A material that bends, never breaks; that remembers the shape of the hand that wears it. In Cabretta Suede, luxury is not loud — it is felt.
Suede doesn’t need to shine to stand out. It’s subtle by nature — soft, matte, and quietly confident. That same softness, though, means it’s more exposed to marks and moisture. It doesn’t resist the world so much as it absorbs it. But with calm, consistent care, suede holds its texture and charm for years. The key is to treat it like something living: never rushed, never rubbed, always coaxed back into form.
The nap of suede is what gives it that signature feel — and that’s exactly what needs protecting. Avoid moisture whenever possible. When surface marks appear, use a suede brush to gently lift the fibres and even out the texture. Don’t rub or scrub. If the glove gets damp, reshape it gently and allow it to dry at room temperature — never under heat.
Brush lightly with a suede brush to lift marks and restore texture. If wet, blot gently with a clean cloth, reshape, and air dry in a shaded, ventilated space. Never expose to direct heat or store compressed.
If the nap becomes flattened or stained, or the glove loses its structure, a professional suede specialist can safely revive the surface without damaging the finish.

I hesitated for a long time before deciding to order suede gloves, because the ones I had before seemed a bit rough to me. But since suede is always warmer than leather, I finally decided to order suede gloves with leather inserts. When I received them, I was simply enchanted by the quality of the suede and how the gloves fit my hand. They are so beautiful that I don’t even want to take them off my hand. Now I’m waiting for another pair of suede gloves, only this time in black and with a cashmere lining.
