The gloves I am wearing in this shot have a little personal surprise. They’re incredibly soft kidskin and they have a little zipper that is mostly hidden on the underside of the glove. I had the glove maker (Dorothy Gaspar in this case) add a beautiful, soft, dovegrey leather gusset so the zipper would never pinch my skin or catch on one of my silk blouses when zipped as they were supposed to be quite tight.
While the gloves aren’t as tight on the forearm as I had fantasized when having them made for me, the dove grey leather inside is a private luxurious touch that makes me smile every time I put them on or see them in my collection.
