Hello Everyone!

My name is Fran Rebecca Walker, and you’ll see me around Dents social media keeping you up to date on our latest news and offers, so you will hopefully see many more blog posts from me! I wanted to let you all know that if we get up to 500 likes on our FB page, Dents will give 20% off all non-glove items from their website through an exclusive online discount code that will be posted on our Dents FB wall once we reach this target. It would be great to give you all this discount BEFORE Christmas time! For instance, who wouldn’t want a Dents bag or wallet for Christmas? So ask all your FB friends to like the Dents FB page and get involved! My personal faves, which are now scribbled down on my Christmas wish list are the Leather Crocodile Print bag in Cognac, £165.

and the Dents Large Leather Handbag in Teal £145

For my fiancé I really like the Men’s Faux Sheepskin Trapper Hat £26 . It will keep his ears nice and warm when he walks our dog during the Jan – March months that’s for sure!

And I’m going to have to buy my dad the Reversible Leather Belt also £26 in Navy and Tan or you can get it in Black and Brown as well! He needs a good belt like this for his golfing tournaments.

I only hope I can have the DENTS 20% discount before Xmas, so I can treat myself (and my family and friends)!

x Fran

I thought I’d highlight our new Heritage wallets and credit card holders here, because they’re really something very special. They’re made in England, and come in a choice of luxurious leathers, soft lamb, bridle or pebblegrain. All the wallets and credit card holders are handmade exclusively for Dents and feature Dents’ signature credit card curve on the pockets, and silk moire linings. I especially like the two tone versions. They come in a high quality gift box.

Ties have taken a bit of a hit in recent years, what with dress down Fridays, CEOs of major corporations appearing on TV in open necked shirts, and of course, global warming. Some of us may even be starting to wonder whether it’s all worth it, and on top of all that we’ve been tying the same boring knot for the last twenty years…

Well, in case you didn’t know, that knot is probably the Four-in-Hand knot, and it’s the one we all learn first. Other knots may be better suited to narrower ties or lighter fabrics and different shirt collars, or more formal occasions.Brooks Brothers have a very instructive section on their website dealing with classic tie knots, but if it’s step by step instruction on knot tying you’re looking for, you won’t do better than Tie-a-Tie.net. Caspar, obviously a true tie lover, brings you detailed instructions on how to tie different knots, with You Tube or downloadable videos, and online tutorials that are easy to follow (a word of warning though, that background music and the presentation may make your eyes glaze over after a while…)

At Dents, we are convinced that ties have a bright future, so we’ve introduced our very own collection of silk ties. Each tie comes in an elegant Dents presentation box and makes a perfect gift.

Some of you may have noticed a new section in our Online Shop – the Heritage Collection. Over the years the Dents brand has expanded into many product categories and has served many different markets. With our Heritage collection we’re going right back to our roots, not only as glovemakers, but also as purveyors of luxury goods made by the very finest craftspeople in Britain. And Britain is pretty well represented – from England, we havegloves of course, made right here in our factory in Warminster, as well as our new Dentscufflinks, which are individually hand stamped and enameled. Dents socks are knitted in Wales and finished with hand linked toes which give a wonderfully comfy fit you just can’t duplicate with amachine made sock. And from Scotland we have Dentsscarves, made from finest Scottish cashmere and other fine yarns. One last thing – we’re launching our new Autumn / Winter Collection this week, so look out for our special discount code, which will be sent to those of you who haveregistered on our website.
