Find Your Size

To find the perfect fit measure your larger hand (which is usually the one you write with) at its widest point without the thumb.

When you have the measurements see the correct size from the table below. If the measurement is between sizes we recommend to round down to the nearest half or full size. The glove should fit firmly at the beginning as the leather stretches a bit during use and shapes to your hand over time. The measuring of the sizes is indicative.

When you wear the gloves for the first time fold your fingers back slightly. If a small groove forms at the knuckles then you know the gloves are the correct size.

To make your gorgeous handmade gloves last as long as possible you should treat them with care.
General Instructions

Gloves should be stretched slightly in the longitudinal direction after every time you wear them. This way their original shape and the length of fingers is restored. It is advisable to keep the gloves either flat or folded twice as they should not be wrinkled.

Avoid getting the gloves wet! Bright and intense colors may dye when they get in touch with liquids. If gloves get wet allow them to dry at room temperature preferably on a towel.

Small imperfections caused by getting wet can be faded by stretching the leather a bit around the area with flaws.

The shine of the nappa leather can be increased by rubbing the gloves with a soft cloth and by using some talcum powder.

The surface of suede leather can be improved with a soft brush or a piece of foam. Some dust particles may come off from suede leather when the gloves have not yet been used. This can be removed by brushing lightly.

How to Wash Leather Gloves

Although usually the gloves should not be exposed to water it is still possible to wash them by hand. Do not machine wash leather gloves. We do not recommend washing hairsheep leather gloves except washable hairsheep leather.

You'll need:

Our Leather Soap or Marseille soap. It is important to use a gentle soap with moisturizing ingredients.

Two pieces of sponge

Famaco Delicate Gel (Gloves made from the finest leathers should not be exposed to spray or cream containing silicone.)

A dish for water

Leather Brush

Wear the glove in your hand. Do not immerse gloves in water as lining materials with natural fiber may shrink if the water temperature is too high. Please also note that gloves with fur lining or otherwise containing fur should not be washed with water.

Brush all excess dirt and dust off the leather.

Wet the sponge and squeeze excess water.

Use a sponge to foam the soap and gently rub the leather in circular motion. Work in sections. When you have cleansed a section use a clean side of the sponge to clean the leather of excess soap.

Let the glove dry on a towel in room temperature for 15-30 minutes. While the gloves are still slightly damp gently put them on to restore their original shape.

Repeat the process on the other glove.

Now is time to apply the gel. Wear the glove in your hand. Use a clean sponge. Work in sections with gentle circular motions. A little goes a long way!

Let the gloves dry for 15-30 minutes.

Use a leather brush to make the leather shine and to remove excess product.

European Craftsmanship and Ethical Sourcing

Our Commitment to Quality and Heritage

Our gloves are handmade in the beautiful city of Pécs, Hungary, a historic center of expertise for world-class glove manufacturing. In this region, glove making is a highly respected craft. We take pride in ensuring that our artisans work in excellent conditions that are fully compliant with EU labor laws, preserving a tradition of quality and fair practice.

We are equally committed to ethical material sourcing. We exclusively use leather obtained as a by-product of the food industry, such as lamb, or from essential population management, such as moose and elk. We strictly do not use fur from farmed animals. By working only with reliable partners, we maintain full transparency throughout our production chain.

While our current priority is crafting durable, high-quality leather accessories, we are always looking forward. We closely monitor innovations in vegan materials and remain open to incorporating sustainable, vegan alternatives in the future. For us, the goal is always the same: creating beautiful products that reflect our values.

A Lifecycle of Quality and Care

Designed to Last, Built to Be Restored

Gloves made from durable materials and careful craftsmanship are inherently designed to last. We encourage the longest possible use of our products by providing expert guidance on maintenance and repair. By caring for the leather properly, you ensure that your gloves remain a staple of your wardrobe for decades.

To further extend their lifespan, we offer a specialized repair service through our store, including the replacement of natural fiber linings. This ensures that even as the interior wears down from daily use, the exterior craftsmanship continues to serve you. This circular approach to fashion allows a single pair of gloves to be refreshed and worn for a lifetime.

Furthermore, we believe true sustainability is found in the durability of style. As a classic accessory, our gloves are not tied to fleeting seasonal trends. Instead, they represent a timeless design that serves the wearer's wardrobe throughout their entire life cycle, proving that excellence never goes out of fashion.
