gifts for your sister, the one who borrows your clothes
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 made by hand in the uk by paumier, £84, size 7. 008 is black nappa leather; 002 is calf hair.
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. 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. 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. black nappa, a deep fringe from the wrist, a touchscreen tip on the index finger.
the 008 knotted fringe gloves. 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.
