Such A Sucker For Red

Still a sucker for red accessories: red shoes, red bags and now red gloves. I recently bought these on eBay despite the fact that winter was well and truly over, but how often do you see vintage 50s elbow length cherry-red leather gloves for sale? Never mind the fact that I already own wrist-length gloves in fire-engine red.

These are butter-soft, and so well made, the stitching on the exterior serving as decoration. I’m looking forward to autumn already!
