Don't let the title fool you, this has nothing to do with the Johnny Marr v David Cameron tweet-off and everything to do with looking good and keeping warm. Over the last week I've come to the conclusion that anything prefaced with the word long; long socks, long gloves, long johns, is well worth investing in. And these gorgeous elbow-length cashmere gloves - the result of a clever collaboration between E + J cashmere and the French jeweler, Marie-Hélène de Taillac, whose beautiful rings have been realised by the legendary Parisian haute couture embroiderers, Lesage - make the perfect day-to-evening wrist warmers. So perfect in fact, that I might even keep them on in bed. Bed gloves, now there's an idea.
E + J stands for Emanuela Calvi and Jane Cattani, two longtime friends and fashion experts (Jane used to work for Sonia Rykiel), behind the Italian cashmere company, creating clothes for 30+ women.
And now let's take a closer look at the lovely ring detail:

Fabulous! Love the rings - these are the gloves for me.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous such a lovely idea and there is nothing like cashmere xxmis

These look amazing.. I will go at once to 'have a butchers' at the website. Many thanks! x
ReplyDeletep.s. love the idea of bed-gloves!
Oh, the ring detail is just beautiful! I particularly like the shape on the mid-blue one, but I love the colours on the purple one. People need to learn to wear red with purple. I only wear leather gloves (lined with cashmere!) because they keep the wind out, but to be honest I would consider investing in a pair of these for eveningwear. They are long enough and the ring detail smartens them up so I would totally wear them with a gown.
ReplyDeleteHi there-yes, such a unique idea and very super stylish too, love them! x
ReplyDeleteMmmm why didn't someone think of this sooner?! Only today I was thinking how difficult it can sometimes be to get gloves on over rings...
ReplyDeleteRe the bed gloves - a definite gap in the market there ;-)
I've just sent a friend some alpaca bed socks for her birthday & matching gloves would be fab!
These are sooooooooo lovely. xx
ReplyDeleteSuzie - they'd be wasted in bed, much better with a gown.
ReplyDeleteCoz - yes, wear the rings on the outside, just like Alvin Stardust!
They're lovely! The rings are a nice touch. I bought some long cream cashmere gloves on Ebay last year for £12. These are much more practical colours xx
ReplyDeleteOh I am IN LOVE with these!! Just gorgeous. How are you keeping ?
