wutong吴

in shanghai, the plane trees that line the old french concession are called 梧桐, wutong. london’s streets are lined with plane trees too, and each leaf opens like a hand.

the name begins with 吴, wu, the family name behind the label, and the leaves fall just as it turns cold enough for gloves.

we make handmade gloves in nappa leather, suede and calf hair, in small runs of each colour, all in size 7.

不来也不去: leaves come and go, and the tree stays.

every order ships tracked from the uk (in-stock pairs the next business day, pre-orders within 14 days), delivery is free to the uk and eu (£15 to the rest of the world), and you can return your order within 14 days of delivery.

008 knotted fringe gloves, handmade, size 7

why gloves instead of jewellery?

jewellery asks you to know her taste in metal, stones and size. gloves ask you to know her coat. they are close to her, worn every cold day, and she will think of you each time she pulls them on.

how do you read her style?

look at the coat she reaches for most.

*black coat, one interesting thing:* the 008 knotted fringe gloves. the fringe is black, tan and cream, threaded through the wrist and knotted.

*black coat, nothing else:* the 001 fringe gloves. black on black, a deep fringe, a touchscreen tip on the index finger.

*grey or navy, likes colour:* the 005 plum python-print gloves. plum suede with python printed on, not real.

what about fit?

every style is size 7, a small-to-medium hand. nappa softens to the hand over a few weeks, so a new pair can feel snug at first. if you can, measure a glove she owns against our size guide.

what should you write with it?

something short and specific. why this pair, not "a pair". when you first noticed her cold hands, or the coat you picture them with. one line is enough.

how does delivery work?

last christmas order date: friday 18 december. this isn't a delivery promise: each product page shows current stock and dispatch time, and delivery & returns shows delivery times by country.

delivery is free to the uk and the eu, and £15 to the rest of the world. we ship worldwide, tracked.

opening price: £84 a pair until sunday 1 november, 23:59 uk time (applied automatically at checkout). from 2 november, £120.
