Elegant Black Dual-Material Gloves

A raised flower on the index fingertip

Turn the pair over and a small flower shape appears in the pad of the index finger, pressed into the surface rather than stitched on top. The thumb carries the same mark, fainter. On a pair with no print, no contrast stitching and no second colour, that is the only place where the material is worked into a shape, and it sits exactly where the fingertip lands on whatever you pick up.

Black dual-material gloves that stop just past the wrist bone

Worn, they cover the hand and finish just past the wrist bone: high enough to slide under a coat sleeve, short enough to leave the forearm free. The edge is clean, with no turned-back cuff and no gathering. Across the back of the hand the surface shows a knitted grain, while the palm stays flat and matte. Other black pairs sit on our glove shelf, several of them mixing materials as well; this one keeps the contrast inside a single colour.

Two buttons set on a narrow tab

Two small round buttons sit one above the other on a narrow tab, and that tab lies across the flat finish of the opening, which carries on down the side of the hand towards the thumb. Nothing faces them, no buttonhole and no loop, so the pair goes on and comes off without anything to undo. What they do add is a short vertical line breaking the knitted panel, right above the wrist.
