But what makes a pair of gloves a true luxury piece? We asked Giuseppe Osci of Osci Pellami, who revealed the link between this accessory and the quality craftsmanship that makes it unique.
Strictly handmade
Despite attempts to industrialize its production, the high-quality glove has remained a product. In fact, its manufacture is quite expensive, as to achieve the desired quality the product must be handmade. Among the most renowned traditional techniques is table cutting, a manual method that guarantees precision and flawless workmanship, preserving the value of artisan savoir-faire.
What are the best materials?
The most popular leathers are the so-called “crisscrossed” leathers, which combine the strength of goat with the delicacy of lamb, providing a soft but textured feel. Authenticity is also preferred in dyeing: the most popular treatment is pure aniline, a process that is done by immersion in barrels, allowing the leather to absorb the color while keeping its porosity intact. The result? A soft, supple and naturally fine product, capable of enhancing the elegance of a timeless accessory.
