Emilie is a classic leather glove done right. Simplicity and charm in wrist length nappa leather. The 3 points and a side vent adds elegance to your everyday wardrobe and the glove is lined in pure silk for easy wearing. A classic winner.
Wrist Length. 2 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Ethiopian Cabretta leather, derived from the highland hair sheep of Ethiopia’s pristine plateaus, is revered as the world’s finest glovemaking material. Its unparalleled softness, achieved through the hide’s fine grain and natural suppleness, drapes the hand like a second skin, while its remarkable durability ensures timeless elegance. Expertly tanned using age-old techniques, this leather offers a flawless balance of breathability and grip, making it the choice of connoisseurs for gloves that embody sophistication and precision.
The more you wear them, the better they look. That’s why leather gloves aren’t just accessories — they’re something personal. They soften with your every movement, remember your shape, and gain character over time. They don’t ask for much, just that you handle them with care, not control.
A mark or a bit of weather isn’t a tragedy — it’s part of the story. But when they need your help, leather gloves respond best to time and restraint. No rubbing, no shortcuts, and certainly no heat.
Forget conditioners and quick fixes. To lift a mark, dust on a touch of talcum powder, smooth it with a dry cloth, and leave it be for a couple of days. If your gloves get wet, blot gently, reshape them softly, and let them dry at their own pace — away from the radiator, the sun, or any artificial heat.
Apply talcum powder over marks with a dry cloth. Leave for 48 hours, then dust off gently. If wet, blot carefully, reshape, and air dry naturally. Never fold or store while damp.
If your gloves become stiff, lose their shape or develop persistent stains, a leather care specialist can restore their structure and surface without compromising their character.
Handmade in Naples, Italy

Beautiful soft leather gloves with a pure silk lining. The colour of the chocolate leather is stunning! Unfortunately for me, I had ordered the wrong size but when I returned them for an exchange I was awarded an extra 15% so I then purchased a slightly more expensive pair which is cashmere lined and just as beautiful.

Don’t know where to start, these gloves are definitely a fashion statement, show stopper, ego booster and more. If you are contemplating buying it.. don’t, just get them. I ordered a black leather gloves from a different site and it was exactly what I was afraid of.. the gloves was a bit too thick, felt and looked like snow gloves. These gloves were the opposite, they are thin, warm, and so fitting to one’s hand. I will definitely be purchasing again.
