The world of Ines, famous Dutch glove maker.
“If you can’t find what you need, you have to make it yourself” is the motto Ines started by, when designing her first leather gloves, she named “where are my fingers gloves”, they became an instant hit and launched the brand of “Ines gloves”. Today it is a real family business, her son is the creative director and photographer while her daughters model the extense glove collection. They get advice and help from friends, other fashion designers, stylists and fashion editors.
The “glacé” gloves can be considered to be Ines’ trademark, these gloves take you back to the glamour days in Hollywood. Glacé gloves are unlined and made out of a single layer of leather. These unique attributes make glacé gloves take the form of your hand, practically feeling and functioning like a second skin.
Ines Gloves headquarters is in Amsterdam, The Netherlands where she designs and creates all the prototypes herself in leather. The entire collection can be viewed and bought at the online shop. Long leather gloves, driving gloves, fingerless gloves, lined, unlined, for winter or summer, in a huge selection of colours and sizes. They even specialize in larger sizes female gloves, for men and carry stretch leather gloves for that ultimate fit.
My opinion about Ines Gloves.
If something has been made with love, you can tell. These are not just any kind of leather gloves, they are a work of art, with a perfect fit, numerous designs and even great packaging, they are definately worth the investment. The glacé gloves are my favourite, as they literally mold to your skin, are super soft, have a great leather smell, easy to clean and come in all the shades you will ever need. Yes, they are not cheap, but they will last forever if you lovingly clean and store them, the pairs I got years ago, still look like new and well I use them alot, in and out of the bedroom “wink”.
