You've probably noticed that you need to remove your rings when you wear gloves. But there's a solution for those who really want to show off their gems: fingerless gloves. Despite their casual modern look, they actually have ancient origins. Close your eyes and imagine that you're back in ancient Greece as a young athlete takes a break between fights. He wraps his hands with leather strips, thus wearing the oldest form of fingerless gloves. Since those times, they have been worn for ages, from the Renaissance to the 19th century.
"Fingerless gloves are among our bestsellers," says Causse. "They're everyday go-to gloves that women love to wear when they want to add a hint of sophistication to their look. They come in different lengths, fabrics and styles, from rock 'n' roll leather to the most refined lace." The funny thing is that the fad for smartphones probably contributes to this success – because fingerless gloves are really helpful when it comes to sending text messages.
