Alongside the ever-increasing mechanization, the challenging job of a professional glove maker has become increasingly rare. Yet, the quality and wearing comfort associated with a pair of handmade gloves remains inimitable. That is why each one of our gloves is crafted by master glove makers in Naples, Italy. Stitch by stich, the gloves turn into a true gem of Italian handicraft. With its subtle grain pattern, deerskin beautifully combines elegance and sportiness. The touch screen compatible lambskin palm side combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. The lining is made of incredibly fine Mongolian cashmere which will keep your hands warm even during the coldest winter days.

PRODUCT DETAILS

THE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND MATERIALS THAT MAKE OUR GLOVES STAND OUT

 

Guaranteed luxury quality without the markup The traditional art of glove-making has been a family passion for our Glove Manufactory since 1860. The rare combination of highly-skilled artisans and premium materials results in fairly-priced luxury gloves which will withstand the test of time. We guarantee it.

KNOW WHAT YOU BUY

The fashion industry is notoriously opaque and deceiving. As a consumer you get hardly any reliable information on the actual origin of the materials and manufacturing conditions. To us, that is fundamentally wrong. You have every right to know exactly what you are buying. That is the only way to make better purchasing decisions.

OUR GLOVE MANUFACTORY
Naples, Italy

 

"Made in" labels are unfortunately a highly simplified truth. For a product to be legally labeled as "Made in Italy", for example, it is sufficient that the last essential production step took place in Italy. The term "essential" is often stretched to the limit. Many brands, including many luxury brands, use this loophole and have their products manufactured in low-wage countries in Eastern Europe and the Far East before they are "luxurified" in Italy. Unfortunately, as a consumer, you hardly ever know about this. To us, that is totally wrong and inexcusable. That is why all of our products are proudly crafted in family-owned workshops in Italy, Germany and Portugal where all artisans are treated with the respect they deserve.

The traditional handicraft of glove-making is a nearly lost art and there are only very few master glove makers left in the world. We are very honored to be working with one of the most revered glove master families in the world. They have been crafting beautiful gloves for many luxury brands since the middle of the 19th century and their quality is absolutely superb.

Our Glove Manufactory

Traceability The fashion industry is notoriously opaque and deceiving. As a consumer you get hardly any reliable information on the actual origin of the materials and manufacturing conditions. To us, that is fundamentally wrong. You have every right to know exactly what you are buying. That is the only way to make better purchasing decisions.
Premium Deerskin
  • Material: Genuine Deerskin
  • Origin of material: Side product of US meat and hunting industry
  • Tanning method: Mineral
  • Tannery: Undisclosed
  • Location: USA
  • Certificates: REACH

Deer is overpopulated in the northern part of the USA and all of our deerskins are the side product of the American meat and hunting industry. The hides are directly tanned in the US and are considered amongst the highest quality deer leathers in the world. The eventual irregularities of the grain pattern give evidence to the authenticity of the leather. We know the name of the American Tannery but our Glove Manufactory asked us to keep the information a secret which is why we are not disclosing it at this point.

Soft Mongolian Cashmere Lining
  • Material: 100% pure cashmere
  • Origin of material: Mongolia
  • Factory: Undisclosed
  • Location: Italy

The incredibly soft lining is made of 100% pure Mongolian cashmere which is considered the finest cashmere in the world. The raw cashmere fibres are brought to Italy where they are purified, dyed, and milled. We know the name of the Italian Factory creating our lining but our Glove Manufactory asked us to keep the information a secret which is why we are not disclosing it at this point.

Strong Cotton Stitching Thread
  • Material: Cotton
  • Origin of material: Unknown
  • Factory: Unknown
  • Location: Italy

The stitching yarn consists of soft yet strong natural cotton and is made in Italy. Unfortunately, we don't yet know the origin of the material and the Factory name creating the yarn but we are working on it and will continually update our traceability information.

Price Breakdown

We all know that fashion brands heavily mark-up their prices. But do we really know by how much? We certainly didn't and what we found out shocked us. Traditional retail brands mark-up their prices by 5-6 times. Luxury brands mark-up their prices by staggering 10-15 times. To us, that is unjustifiable. We cut out the middle man, sell directly to you and pass the savings on to you. Our average mark-up is 3 times and we reveal our exact production costs. You deserve to know.

Premium Deerskin

Only very special leathers are suitable for dress gloves as the requirements are very stringent. They need to be thin and flexible yet warm and durable. Deerskin is one of those rare leathers. It is incredibly supple yet durable; the perfect combination for dress gloves. With proper care, the gloves will last for many years to come; maybe even for generations.

Sporty Elegance

With its exquisite grain pattern, deerskin combines elegance and sportiness making it a particularly popular leather for gloves. In combination with handsewn stitching and 3 decorative points on the backside our deerskin gloves turn into a versatile accessory which effortlessly bridges the gap between more formal and casual attires.

160 Years Experience

The process of crafting a single pair of our cashmere-lined deerskin gloves is extremely intricate and complex. It takes the collaboration of 15 master glove makers and seamstresses, 18 individual production steps, and over 2,000 stitches to turn the raw materials into a finished pair of gloves; a true gem of Italian handicraft.

Climate & Plastic Positive

For every single order, we plant one tree with our partner On A Mission and remove 80 plastic bottles from our beloved Oceans with our partner Empower. We are very proud to be a climate-positive and plastic-positive Company. All of our gloves are packaged completely plastic-free in a beautiful black glove box made of FSC certified paper. Every product has a footprint. We do everything in our power to make sure it’s a positive one.

How do I find my glove size?
The most accurate way to find your glove size is to follow these simple steps:
1) Measure your bigger hand (usually your writing hand) at its widest point excluding the thumb with a flexible measuring tape. That is your hand circumference.
2) Check in our size chart which glove size corresponds to your hand circumference.
3) In case your hand circumference should fall between two sizes, we recommend rounding off to the nearest half or full size as the leather will stretch out with time and use.

GENERAL FAQ

Why are you displaying your production costs?
We all know that fashion brands heavily mark-up their prices. The traditional mark-up is 5-6 times. The mark-up for luxury brands can even be 10-15 times. They can do so, because we as consumers don't know the actual production price. We firmly believe that you have a right to know. That is the only way to empower you to make more informed and better purchasing positions. You can find the exact price-breakdown for each product in the “What it costs” section.

How do you calculate the traditional retail price?
This is how the fashion industry works traditionally:
Production Price x 2 - 2,5 (on average) = Wholesale Price
Wholesale Price x 2 - 2,5 (on average) = Traditional Retail Price

Take one of our Peccary Gloves for example. The Production Price is 78,95€.
Wholesale Price: 78,95€ x 2 = 157,90€
Traditional Retail Price: 157,90€ x 2,2 = 345,00€ 
Dalgado Price: 78,05 x 2,97 = 235,00€

We cut out the middle man, sell directly to you and pass the savings on to you. Our average mark-up is 3 times.

Why is transparency so important to you?
The fashion industry is notoriously opaque and deceiving. As a consumer you get hardly any reliable information on the actual origin of the materials and manufacturing conditions. We firmly believe the industry is fundamentally flawed. You have every right to know exactly what you are buying. That is why we reveal exactly where our products are made, what they are made of, and what they cost.

What does climate positive & plastic positive mean?
There is only one Earth and it is our responsibility to take care of it. Yet, regardless of how environmentally-friendly our materials and production processes are, every product has an ecological footprint. We do everything in our power to make sure it’s a positive one. For every single order, we plant one tree with our partner On A Mission and remove 1kg of plastic from our beloved Oceans with our partner Empower.

Being climate positive means that we as a Company go beyond achieving net zero carbon emissions and actually create an environmental benefit by removing additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Being plastic positive means that we as a Company remove more plastic from the oceans than is created during our entire production.
