Chapters of a life story

Born in 1947

"I was born and raised in an elegant time - a time that makes you reminisce of days when people always wore leather gloves in Le Métro de Paris, or strolling around the center of Amsterdam or Florence on Sunday afternoons."

" Let's bring back elegance."
-Ines

Model Loes

First design

"I started to craft my own gloves at the end of last century when I realised I could not find what I wanted and needed anymore.
A pair of gloves like the ones I used to know - simple, timeless and perfectly fitting.
An elegant second skin for my hands and arms instead of the common, tired and unglamorous gloves I was finding everywhere.
Something of beauty."

"I bought a piece of chamois leather at a fabric store, a few old books to learn the basics and I sewed my first pair at home on my Singer sewing machine."

"The joy and pleasure of wearing my own gloves is incredible. This feeling of sensuality and elegance...
That is what I want to share with my customers too.
-Indulge your senses."
-Ines

Ines passed away

Ines' son Bob and son in law Valerio try to keep her heritage alive.

We feel proud in continueing and to keep delivering Ines' gloves to all corners of the planet.

Ines gloves do not follow fashion or trends: seasonal fashion is where elegance ends and consumerism begins.

We believe that elegance is timeless, and the leather gloves collection today embraces the truly essential lines of classic gloves.

Leather gloves as they are meant to be.

Indulge your senses.
