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.

gifts for your sister, the one who borrows your clothes

published , by wutong studio, 2 minute read

the short answer

give her the pair she would borrow from you anyway. for a sister who goes for print, the 002 spotted gloves in cream calf hair with black spots. for a sister who wears black, the 008 knotted fringe gloves. both are handmade, from wutong studio, £120, size 7. 008 is black nappa leather; 002 is calf hair.

008 knotted fringe gloves, handmade, size 7

how do you choose for a sister?

look at what she takes from your wardrobe. sisters borrow the thing they would not buy for themselves. that tells you more than anything she says she wants.

what if she takes the prints?

*the [002 spotted gloves](/products/002).* cream calf hair, which is cowhide with its short hair left on, black spots, dark brown leather down the sides, a strap knotted at the wrist.

*the [003 checkerboard gloves](/products/003).* black suede, a cream checkerboard across the back of the hand, a plain suede palm. for a sister who likes graphic more than animal.

what if she takes the black?

*the [001 fringe gloves](/products/001).* black nappa, a deep fringe from the wrist, a touchscreen tip on the index finger.

*the [008 knotted fringe gloves](/products/008).* black nappa with a fringe in black, tan and cream, threaded through the wrist and knotted.

should sisters have matching pairs?

not matching. related. two different styles that sit together, 002 and 003, say, read as a pair without being a costume. if you buy both, keep the one she doesn't choose.
