VTG Fownes London Gloves, Butter Soft Leather,, Gloves, Size 8 1/2, 1950s

This is a beautiful and classic pair of vintage leather gloves from the world-renowned Fownes London company, with a history dating back to 1777. The gloves are made from a butter-soft, unlined leather in a lovely light color, featuring the iconic Fownes "Made in England" stamp on the inside. They are styled with elegant contrasting dark stitching and a small buttoned vent at the wrist. I was given these gloves by an 85-year-old friend who has owned them for decades and worked in a charming British tea shop for over 60 years. They are a true piece of history, representing a bygone era of style and elegance when dressing for an afternoon out was a cherished tradition.
