- Causse : another historic glove maker from Millau, bought by Chanel. Same niche as Maison Fabre, this time offering creation even for men. Allow several hundred euros for peccary or python. For classic designs, Maison Fabre remains preferable in this niche. From €160.
THE FINAL WORD...
The range of gloves is extensive, easily ranging from €40 to €400 .
The ideal is to opt for a leather pair, more durable and elegant . Lamb or peccary are some of the best options.
Also remember to examine the construction and details. Remember, leather stretches friends, so choose them tight to start with. Besides, maintain them and they will accompany you for several years.
For the most limited budgets, mesh gloves can do the trick under certain conditions. If possible, choose them with leather inserts which will reinforce them.
One last thing: if you're the type to lose your little accessories, there's no point in investing too much!
