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.

materials & care

suede is the inner side of the skin, brushed to a soft, velvety nap that holds colour deeply and catches the light as it moves.

  • brush it regularly with a soft suede brush, always in one direction.
  • a suede protector spray before the first wear helps it shrug off light rain and marks.
  • if it gets wet, blot it without rubbing, let it dry naturally and then brush the nap back up.
  • a suede eraser lifts small marks.
  • never wash, soak or tumble-dry them, or dry them on a radiator.

import duties and taxes

there’s nothing more to pay on orders within the uk. eu orders are sent from the uk, so the carrier collects import vat on delivery, usually with a handling fee, and customs duty can apply too on orders worth more than €150. everywhere else, import duties and taxes are set by your country, aren’t included in our prices and are paid on delivery.

returns

you can return any order within 14 days of delivery, for any reason: email us at hello@paumierstudio.com and we’ll send you the return address. you pay the return postage unless the pair is faulty or not what you ordered, and we refund the payment method you used.
