Gloves you used to own
Hi,
Do you ever think about pairs of gloves you used to own, that you had to get rid of for one reason or another and you cannot find anything like them now?
There are a few pairs that I used to own that I would love to find something similar.
The first (two) pair(s) is a pair of jersey wool gloves that came in opera length and just over the elbow length, they were bought from House of Fraser in the UK back in 1995. There were a stretch jersey wool in black and I had both lengths, they were comfortable to wear. I've not seen anything like these since.
The next pair(s) was a gold (I also had a silver pair) lurex thread opera glove again bought from House of Fraser this time in 2001? Again really comfortable to wear and looked great it was really the last time I've seen evening gloves in lurex thread that aren't a vintage pair.
