We are truly delighted to be introducing Klaus Haapaniemi’s fine textile designs here at the shop. Artist Klaus Haapaniemi and designer Mia Wallenius founded their design studio together in 2010, in London.

Klaus is a talented illustrator who has designed everything from prints for Clements Ribeiro, Cacharel, and Marimekko, to ceramics for Iittala, to book covers for Penguin. His partner Mia is a creative designer and has worked as Senior Art Director for Gucci Group. Together, their studio produces the most beautiful scarves, throws, and pillows. Their approach is self-described as “influenced by nature, Finnish folklore, fantasy and traditional decorative arts with a modern twist.”
We hope you are as taken with their work as we are!

New Arrivals : DENTS Gloves Est. 1777

IMG_3105

We just received our collection of Dents gloves for the season! Today Dents gloves are still handmade with the finest quality leather in England, as they were when the company was established in 1777. For each glove, the leather is hand stretched and bench cut before being assembled. It can take up to 8 hours to make a single pair of gloves.

We carry a selection of styles from the Dents Heritage Collection: deerskin gloves with silk lining, in a berry red, and a tobacco brown; deerskin gloves with wool lining and a snap closure in tobacco brown, and in black; plain nappa fur-lined gloves in cognac brown, and black; and peccary gloves with contrast turquoise Scottish cashmere lining.

Peccary is the most luxurious gloving leather, and these gloves were the most sought after last winter. Dents sources the leather from wild boar in South America. The leather is very difficult to cut as well as difficult to sew. Since they require a skilled and experienced master glove maker, these exceptional gloves are very rare.

To ensure a perfect fit, we will gladly measure your glove size in the shop.
