Premium Crochet Knit & Leather Driving Gloves

Commissioned by Aimé Leon Dore, the brief called for a refined study of mid-century motoring gear—balancing tactile breathability with understated sport elegance. We paired an unbleached long-staple cotton crochet with vegetable-tanned Italian lambskin, selected specifically for its supple hand, natural grip, and graceful aging profile.

Hand-cut by master glovemakers, the leather palms are skived and articulated to maintain an unfiltered feel at the wheel. The crochet upper is meticulously hand-linked to the leather chassis, reinforced across high-flex knuckles and finished with a minimalist snap closure featuring custom antiqued brass hardware.

The resulting piece reconciles casual vintage leisure with technical automotive precision, delivering an essential accessory tailored to the modern grand tour.
