The Taylor women's leather gloves combine the elegance of a city glove with the warmth of a winter glove. At the wrist, a thick fleecy lambskin cuff frames the hand with generous softness, set off by a leather tab and its silver buckle, finished with contrast topstitching. Crafted from hand-patinated lambskin, its shades deepening towards the fingertips, they are lined with alpaca for enveloping comfort on the coldest days. Elasticated gathers on the palm side fit the glove closely at the wrist. Designed by Maison Agnelle, French glovemaker since 1937.
Taylor is the glove I slip on when winter settles in for good. The fleecy cuff rests against the wrist like a coat collar, and the alpaca lining holds the warmth all day long. I love its buckle, a detail borrowed from saddlery that gives it a sophisticated, almost equestrian air. I wear it with a camel coat and tall boots, for a look that is warm yet beautifully polished.
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.”
