The Rolls-Royce of gloves and leathers is a classic glove handcrafted from Peccary boar leather. This is a glove that will be passed down from generation to generation to another, from mother to daughter.
This glove combines two wonderful luxury materials, peccary and a cashmere-wool blend. The good thermal insulation of both materials makes these gloves great winter gloves that warm your hands even in severe frosts. The breathability of natural materials makes the gloves comfortable to wear throughout the winter.
Peccary leather is naturally thick and reindeerus, so it insulates well. Peccary leather is characterized by a beautiful matte surface. The velvety soft leather has the typical peccary hair tuft patterns - three adjacent small dots. The personal nature of gloves made from wild animal leather also includes small traces of life, so each pair is unique. Peccary leather is very wear-resistant and patinas beautifully over time, so these gloves will be a joy to the wearer for years.
In addition to being perfect for gloves, peccary leather is also valuable because of its limited availability. Peccary leather comes from Peru, which is the only country allowed to sell this valuable leather. Indigenous communities living in the Amazon jungle hunt the animal for its meat. Hunting a CITES-protected animal is only allowed for survival. In other words, wild boars are not hunted for their leather, the leather is only a by-product. Each pair is unique, as the leather of wild animals also reflects the life the animal has lived.
The traditional model has three decorative stitches on the back of the palm. The shaft of the glove covers the wrist. The slender wrist fits well inside the jacket sleeve. There is an elastic band on the wrist to increase the fit of the wrist. There are three decorative stitches on the back of the palm, which bring a sophisticated decoration to the glove.
Over 100 meticulous craftsmanship steps and high-quality materials make these gloves a great investment.
Peccary leather is relatively thick and therefore the gloves are sewn with a counter-seam, meaning the seam is as if on the outside. The sewing is very precise and time-consuming.
Gloves should fit very snugly at first, so that they shape themselves to fit the user's hand. The most important step in determining the fit of gloves is cutting the leather. Using the centuries-old table cutting method, the gloves are given the right fit. Excess stretch is stretched out of the leather, leaving only the adjustment margin that ensures an excellent fit. This ensures that the gloves do not stretch even after prolonged use, but retain their fit. Each leather is processed separately. The skins of relatively small wild animals are often defective, have many signs of life and even holes. Cutting leather resembles a puzzle, as an experienced cutter finds the right places in the leather for each part of the glove. Fortunately, the leathers can be utilized precisely, because the gloves have many small parts between the fingers.
The lining inside the glove is practically a glove inside the glove. In use, leather lasts longer than a knitted lining, so to extend the life of the gloves, it is possible to replace the lining with a new one if necessary.

The artisanal manufacturing of gloves is inherently very economical and thus ecological in terms of material usage. During the cutting phase, the cutter optimizes the consumption of leather so that the production of cutting waste is minimal. For this purpose, gloves are an excellent product, as they have many small parts (fourchettes/gussets, thumbs, wrist binding) for which very small pieces of leather can be used. The natural feel of high-quality aniline leather is preserved thanks to drum dyeing, meaning no chemicals typical of mass production are sprayed onto the leather. The waters used in the manufacturing of the materials are purified already at the factory. Taking ecological considerations into account is important to us at every stage of production and operation. For example, product tags are made from FSC-certified cardboard in the factory neighbouring our glove factory, which also keeps the transport's carbon footprint minimal.
Our gloves are handmade in Hungary in the beautiful city of Pécs, which is a centre of expertise for the manufacture of world-class quality gloves. Glove making is a highly respected craft, and the working conditions of the best glove makers in the field are good and compliant with EU laws. We only use leather obtained as a by-product of food production (such as lamb) and/or as a result of population management (such as moose/elk). We do not use the fur of farmed animals. Our priority is to manufacture high-quality and durable accessories. However, we also closely monitor the field of vegan materials, and it may be possible to produce vegan gloves in the future. Materials are sourced from reliable partners, so the stages of the production chain are known.
Gloves made from durable materials and with careful craftsmanship last a long time in use. We encourage the longest possible use of our products, and we provide guidance on glove maintenance and repair. For example, it is possible to replace the natural fibre linings of the gloves, which further extends their lifespan. The lining replacement and glove repair service operates through our store. Furthermore, sustainability is also related to the durability of style and design. As a classic accessory, gloves are not tied to seasonal trends, but serve their wearer's wardrobe throughout their entire life cycle.
