paumier

paumier (say poh-mee-ay) comes from jeu de paume, the game of the palm. before there was tennis, players in france hit the ball with a bare hand, and by the end of the thirteenth century with a leather glove to protect the palm; the first racket is recorded in 1505.

the people who kept the courts and made the rackets were called paumiers, and we borrowed their name for our gloves.

we make gloves by hand in the uk, in nappa leather, suede and calf hair, for the darkest part of the year: one bright thing against black coats and grey streets. every style comes in size 7, in small runs of each colour.

every order ships tracked from the uk (in-stock pairs the next business day, late-shipping styles 14 days after you order), 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 in the uk, size 7

what did the aw26 runways show?

fringe, but quiet. coveteur saw it across the fall/winter 2026 shows. the impression called the new version "deliberately refined". who what wear described it as "a far cry from the western or boho aesthetics". tibi put a long fringed leather glove on its fall 2026 runway.

why gloves, for someone who follows fashion?

a fashion lover usually has the coat. what changes a coat each season is the edge of it: collar, bag, hands. gloves are the cheapest way in to a runway idea, and they are worn every day, not saved.

how would she wear 008?

with a long black coat. the black fringe disappears, and the tan and cream threads show when she moves.

with camel. the tan in the fringe picks up the coat. nothing else needs to match.

with denim and a grey knit. the gloves become the only detail.

one rule: one fringe at a time.

what if she already has fringe?

the 001 fringe gloves are the plainer version: black nappa with a deep, single-colour fringe and a touchscreen tip. for a different texture, the 002 spotted gloves are cream calf hair (hair-on hide) with black spots. both are £84, size 7. each product page shows current stock.
