French Vintage 1950s Black Gloves with Lovely Button Detailing
A divine pair of French vintage black gloves, from around the 1950s.I don’t know what the fabric is, probably man made.They are beautifully made, and the detailing is just oh so French.Two buttons at the side of each glove, just underneath a pleated section, making the wrist slanted which just gives that unmistakable 50s vibe.
Wonderful for adding that touch of French chic to your outfit.Gloves are the sort of lovely understated accessory that once worn, you simply can’t do without they just make you feel instantly glamorous.
In great condition for age, no faults that I can see. I don’t think they were worn much.The label inside says Gant Neyret Paris.The label inside the other may state the material used, but it is too scrunched up to see.Possibly jersey, I have seen that mentioned in occasional vintage adverts, but I’m not sure.
Neyret was a high end accessories and lingerie manufacturer founded in 1858.They became renowned for their innovative style, and immeasurable quality. Karl Lagerfeld worked with them for a time.They sadly closed their doors in 1971.
Measurements to follow – they fit me and I am a size 7 hand.
I scour brocantes, vide greniers, auctions, and all sorts of nooks and crannies to find wonderful old French treasures and it is a passion that grows greater by the day. Where I can I give the story behind each item as they too have had a life and are now looking for their own new story … So I am happy that these long lost items are going to new homes – I have been their brief guardian and now, it is someone else’s turn to love and cherish them.
