I'm just back from New York, where the weather was a glovemaker's dream come true! We had a very successful first showing at the Accessorie Circuit trade show. Our Winter 2010 fashion glove collection created quite a stir - we'll be previewing it on this site soon, and next winter it may be found at Saks Fifth Avenue and fine stores all over the world.

Remember our blog on the Finding Glover exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum? Just scroll down if you need to refresh your memory. The Artist in Residence, Jo Lawrence, who created the exhibit, also wrote this wonderful piece on her visit to the Dents Glove Museum. An extract is reproduced below:

"My visit to the Dents Glove Museum in Warminster felt like a step back in time. John Cundick (Quality controller at Dents) showed me the glove collection, and presented me with lots of extraordinary curiosities, much of it stored in dark plans chests, and every glove had a story attached. There were the smallest gloves in the world, a bit larger than a stamp, the blue suede gloves belonging to the joker (Jack Nicholson) in the 1988 Batman film that were so popular that they were mass produced several times in numerous colours, gloves that fitted into a walnut shell, numerous photos of glovers at work, and glove moulds, hand measuring devices and glovers sewing machines. "
