a birthday gift for your girlfriend, if her birthday falls in winter

why gloves for a birthday?

a winter birthday usually means dinner, drinks, a walk home in the cold. gloves are the one present she can unwrap and put on before you leave the house, and she'll still be wearing them in february. if her birthday is in the summer, they make less sense as the main present, so save the idea for christmas instead.

which pair suits her?

look at the coat she reaches for most, and at how much she likes to stand out.

for a dinner out: the 001 fringe gloves, black on black with a deep fringe that moves when she does, and a touchscreen tip on the index finger.

for someone who likes to be noticed: the 008 knotted fringe gloves, black nappa with a fringe in black, tan and cream knotted at the wrist.

for someone who wears neutrals and likes pattern: the 007 striped gloves, cream nappa with three glossy black stripes, which look sharp against a black or navy coat.

for someone who loves colour: the 005 plum python-print gloves, plum suede with a printed python pattern.

what about size?

every style is size 7, a small-to-medium hand. if you can borrow a glove she already wears, measure it against our size guide.

will it arrive in time?

in-stock pairs leave us the next business day, tracked. each product page shows whether a style is in stock or late shipping, and the date it leaves us, so check that against her birthday before you order. delivery is free to the uk and the eu, and £15 to the rest of the world.

how do you give it?

tick ‘this is a gift’ at checkout and write a note, which we handwrite on a card in the box. there's no price in the parcel, and the receipt comes to you. send it to your address if you want to hand it over yourself, or to hers if you're apart on the day.
