GLOVErsville



How cool are these? I stumbled upon these while catching up on some of my favorite blogs over the weekend. These gloves were featured on Daily Candy. Check out the site along with the video featuring the renowned glove designer, Daniel Storto, from our neighboring town... Gloversville, NY. I fell in love with them because of the cool/sleek design, the fact that a big time designer chose to stay true to his roots and family's trade in a small Upstate NY town {very Euro}, the $25.00 price tag, and the fact that there is still snow on the ground! I need to add a bit of glamour to what is becoming very glum! These gloves are a favorite of the late Alexander McQueen, Bob Mackie, and Derek Lam to name a few . Plus they bring back found memories of playing with my mom's gloves when I was a kid {the girls are going to looove these}, will look so cool with my LBD, and again release my inner Mad Men style that I'm crazy for these days...

Happy Monday...

  1. These are really beautiful! And for $25, you can't go wrong. She probably got a ton of sales from the post on Daily Candy, which is great. I love to see small-town designers get recognized on a national level. Good post!

  3. Haha, it's funny where you end up searching around on the internet. Interesting blog though, compliments on the site design - you can tell you used to be in the fashion industry.
