Are you attending a performance of La Traviata? Don't forget to wear your pair of Opera gloves for the occasion! And even if you have no night at the opera planned, this women's lambskin leather style will enchant you (not to be confused with Mozart's The Magic Flute). A mid-length glove to be worn scrunched or at its full length. The simpler the glove, the more the perfect quality of the cut stands out. Its elegant, refined style goes hand in hand with the fineness and softness of its silk lining.
The Opera glove is the glove for life's grand moments, and yet I find it remarkably modern. Worn with an evening gown, it is expected, sublime, exactly where it belongs. Worn with a tank top and raw denim jeans, it becomes a wildly daring fashion statement, and that is often how I prefer it. One design, two lives, no rules. Few objects can hold both ceremony and provocation, and this one does so with disarming ease. That is the beauty of an absolute classic: it belongs to the women who wear it, never the other way around.
The Agnelle ateliers were founded in 1937 in Saint-Junien, France’s “City of the Leather Glove”. The same craftsmanship continues to this day there, inscribing and galvanizing the Agnelle name in its time. For three generations, three visionary and determined women have transmitted the same savoir-faire for the production of the world’s most beautiful glove collections.
Agnelle remains to this day a discreet partner to the greatest fashion labels. In 2006, Agnelle was recognized as a “Living Heritage Enterprise" and since 2011, Agnelle is registered in UNESCO’s “Métiers d’Arts Rares.”

Today, Agnelle, a family business, continues to advocate delicate, infinitely precise work, the slow pace of which is a sign of unfailing quality.
