How do I clean my leather gloves?
"Clean any surface dirt by gently rubbing the surface of the gloves with a damp cloth.
Never use soap or alcohol.
You can also clean your gloves with non-alcohol make-up remover tissue.
How should I best take off leather gloves and store my gloves?
Watch a video here.
When taking the gloves off, pull the gloves at the fingers, one by one.
Be gentle and avoid stretching the leather.
Once they are off, gently stretch the gloves lengthwise holding the fingers and the cuff in each hand.
Finally place them one above each other so that the thumbs face each other, smooth and flatten out the surface by hand.
Store your leather gloves in their Ines gloves box and away from heat and direct sunlight.

Exciting times!
You have received your new gloves and are naturally eager to wear them.
If you follow these simple instructions you will enjoy them for a very very long time.
Wearing unlined gloves is a different experience from lined ones.
Unlined gloves take some time to warm up, stretch and adjust to the unique shape of your hands.
Especially for the long gloves it takes a few minutes, but only the first time.
Put the gloves on finger by finger, while stretching and crunching your fingers.
Your body temperature will make the leather supple and it will adjust to the shape of your hand.
Perhaps try by putting a little talc powder into the unworn gloves, especially the long ones to make things even easier.
After a few moments of patience you will be rewarded by a pair of gloves fitting like a "second skin".
How do long gloves fit my upper arm?
Long gloves can be tight fitting or loose and comfy.
No two arms are the same, and long gloves are an incredibly elegant accessory that can be worn in many different ways.
In most cases, the leather will adjust to the shape of your body if you let it warm up and be delicate.
Sometimes, however, it’s simply the case that each body shape is unique, and gloves may feel larger or too narrow at the arm.
Good news is, long gloves can and should be also worn crunched down the arm for a glamorous look.
Perhaps this is the way your new long gloves will look best with you!
Enjoy!

How do I find my perfect gloves size?

Do you make vegan leather gloves?
No, but we surely will in the future.
We have been sourcing and studying leather alternatives already for years, but at the moment the characteristics of vegan leather are not complying to our standards.
What kind of leather do you use and how do you source it?
We acquire leather of uncompromising quality from different places in the world, depending on the characteristics and different styles of the glove designs.
All our unlined and cashmere lined gloves are made of the finest kidskin leather from an exclusive sheep/goat crossbreed from the wildlands of Ethiopia.
We acquire genuine peccary leather, from wild peccaries living in Peru, by subsistence hunting controlled by CITES guidelines.
This means our leather gloves are genuine, sustainable, rare to find and valuable.
Why do I see "Available first to our list of clientele" ?
Ines' gloves are crafted in small production runs.
Because of the limited availability, we first provide our gloves to our most loyal and most maniac glove lovers.
What do you mean with unisex?
Most of our gloves are available in extra large sizes up to 5XL where other brands stop at XXL.
The designs are based on the cut and fit of ladies gloves, but we extended the sizing so these can now also fit a larger hand and arm, like that of a man.
We believe everyone should enjoy their style, regardless of your gender or identity.
Gloves for anybody.
Why some of Ines gloves are sometimes out of stock?
Sorry about it! You may have to be a little patient.

Why are most Ines gloves unlined or lined with cashmere?
Our gloves are different from anyone else's. We create gloves in the style of the 1950's: tight fitting to your hand like a second skin, whether unlined or lined in pure cashmere. Just as they are meant to be. We avoid seasonal fashion and believe that elegance is timeless.
Unlined gloves are the prime example of our philosophy: simplicity, elegance and pleasure.
When the season calls for it, the most wonderful way to keep your hands warm is pure cashmere or baby alpaca, delicious and precious materials that keep your hands protected and elegant.
