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.

last-minute christmas gifts: the last order date and what to choose

published , by paumier, 2 minute read

the short answer

in the uk, our last christmas order date is thursday 17 december for in-stock pairs, and thursday 3 december for late-shipping styles. it isn't a delivery promise: delivery time depends on stock and destination, and each product page shows both. if you want one answer, the 008 knotted fringe gloves are £84, tracked.

008 knotted fringe gloves, handmade in the uk, size 7

how does delivery work?

delivery is free to the uk and the eu, and £15 to the rest of the world. we ship worldwide, tracked.

why 008?

because it suits most coats and needs no second guessing.

008 is black sheepskin nappa with a long fringe in black, tan and cream, threaded through the wrist and knotted. made by hand in the uk by paumier, size 7.

what if i'd like a different style?

you have the full choice of seven. the 007 striped gloves is the quietest: cream nappa, three glossy black stripes.

what if i've missed the date?

order anyway, and give a card on the day naming the gloves. tell them they are on their way. a written note naming the style does the job.

how do you choose without knowing her taste?

look at her coat, not her wardrobe. a black or navy coat takes 008 or 001. camel and cream take 007. if she wears one print already, keep the gloves plain. if she wears none, a print at the hand is the easiest way to start.
