Luxury Gloves

I love the wedding outfits with gloves! I believe that are very elegant and bring a special touch to your look. I’ve always thought that if when you’re invited, sister of the bride or groom or even the  bridemother, you care so carefully the design of the dress, shoes, bag and of course headdress! How can anyone forget the importance of gloves or buy practically what is «at first sight»? The gloves are so important, that as happens with other accessories, have their own protocol.

Luxury gloves each season are seen more frequently in all types of publications, not only fashionable, also of society. You do not have to choose them long and tight. If you think you’re not going comfortable, you can wear a little model, and even that does not cover the entire back of the hand, is also very attractive design. Another  modality are long and wide at the end of the arm, if you opt for this, of course, as should just order them or buy them at the best glove shop, as are perfectly provided is a sensitive issue.

If there is a fabulous glove in Spain, it is certainly Santacana. They have been in this art since 1896 – 120 years- There you can even order bespoke your gloves (here you can see in video how they make gloves from choosing skin, the model, the cutting, sewing and ironing). They workshop and headquarters are in Madrid, but do not worry if you are out, have more than 2000 points of sale worldwide. One of the most famous is Pino gloves shop in Seville.

Santacana tells us that the secret to making a good glove is on the skin and how it works. Only use sheepskins from the two best tanners glove in the world: Riba Guixa and Pittard’s. The skins are selected one by one, taking into account the different tones for each glove are perfect. Cutter skin stretches and works hand patiently. Then cut with scissors. This is the only way to ensure that the glove is like a second skin on the hand.

Santacana gloves are sewn by hand, so if you purchase a pair, you can select different embellishments like veins or cords, cuffs with applications, zippers … etc. Besides choosing the color of the skin between the wide range of colors that can be found here. The liner can be silk.

Their gloves have paraded at the New York Fashion Week. The models presented on this occasion, under my point of  view, are worthy of the finest French Haute Couture: Long gloves in leather with embroidered flowers, really impressive.

But if there is something that distinguishes them above all and gives them real luxury category, besides their savoir faire, It is undoubtedly the human factor. You will be treated with the same delicacy that comes to clients of haute couture and moreover something that is essential for me in any self-respecting company, their solidarity program: Santacana donate to Caritas, gloves, hats and scarves for all persons who for economic reasons can not afford warm clothes.
