Thomasine Gloves

Skin jewelry. That is how this young designer, originally from Sweden but now thoroughly Parisienne, describes her line of gloves. The framing is apt since these leather confections sculpt and adorn hands in ways that are new, elegant and creative. Perhaps that is why esteemed houses such as Schiaparelli have her on speed dial? Did you happen to see the gold finger tipped black gloves that Beyonce wore to the Grammys not long ago? Those were Thomasine's designs. What about the black arm-length gloves that Kim (yes, Kardashian) wore to the Met Gala the year before last? You'd never imagine that this down-to-earth young mother and couture glove designer is who's behind this stunning brand when you stumble into her little Paris boutique. But, yep, it's her. Nestled in the same famous little 'Passage' peole have been flocking to find their Louboutin's for decades, now you have an equally good reason to seek out something fun and luxurious for your hands, too.
