'-SPECIAL- "HERMES" 90's Astrakhan combination leather gloves

From Hermès, which has elevated its origins as a harness workshop to current luxury, continuously refining leather, metal fittings, and structure with the same passion, we introduce a special masterpiece.

This exquisite piece of Hermès leather gloves maximizes the craftsmanship inherent in the design with minimal elements.

First and foremost, what catches the eye is the expression unique to lambskin, combining "thinness" and "stickiness," with delicate wrinkles appearing the moment the fingers are opened, transforming into beauty as proof that the leather has not hardened. From the palm to the fingertips, panels are assembled to leave natural margins in areas under tension, and the base of the thumb is three-dimensionally contoured, making it less likely to pull when worn and creating a line that makes the fingers appear longer.

On the back of the hand, carefully designed curves serve as the face of the glove, blending seamlessly like a "second skin" while visually supporting the hand's skeletal structure. The sewing is balanced without excessive exaggeration, with stitches discreetly hidden, allowing the leather's luster and shadows to stand out as the main features, embodying Hermès' "quiet persuasiveness."

What also defines the design of this piece is the loop-shaped trimming encircling the wrist. The uniform surface of the smooth leather is contrasted by the textured, curled hair similar to ostrich, creating rhythm and establishing decoration solely through tactile contrast.

Furthermore, the trimming base features a tape-like design running in a lattice pattern, and by layering structural elements onto the soft fur, it achieves a refined look rather than a sweet one. Since tonal variations of the material appear at a single point, the overall coordination can be elegant without being ostentatious, only amplifying the sense of dignity.

Regarding the authenticity of the era, the design featuring the inscription "FAUBOURG SAINT-HONORÉ PARIS" remaining under the box logo, the specifications of the woven label, and the typography of the attached card all indicate the same period, making it consistent as an authentic 90s set.

The fact that it retains the "amount of information" from before transitioning to the current minimal notation is evidence that Hermès at the time designed the packaging with the same warmth as the product.

In terms of styling, pairing with a neat tailored or a high-quality wool long outerwear, adding sophistication through the texture peeking from the cuffs creates a beautiful balance, and when paired with a minimal dress or slim pants style, it reinterprets 90s luxury with a modern vibe.

Take this opportunity.
