Blue leather gloves in a sophisticated package - leather-wrapped leather case containing a bone grip tightening pliers.

Wearing gloves has traditionally been a widespread phenomenon in fashion. In addition to hand protection, this was particularly a decorative and representative matter.

To create an impression of high-quality goods for the most respected customers, the gloves were stored in a perfectly finished package - leather-coated etue with metallic ornamentals decorated with bombardment. Etue also contained bone tightening pliers for gloves, the use of which was to prolong the good appearance of the gloves. On the bottom of the box there was a sticker with the sign of a renowned Paris city trade.
