Ho – hum, gloves . . . . .? Not these. There is nothing more stylish and luxurious than a beautiful pair of kid-skin gloves, while they also protect your hands.
Beautifully-made and elegant in lines, many that I have found have no decoration – many have small subtle designs near the wrist. Some, like the beige pair, have decorated panels of crochet or contrasting leather. The variations are endless. I’ll be showing more of them . . . . .
These gloves are not meant for really cold weather, but they’re great for what we’re into now. If looked after, they’ll last a long time.
Don’t wear these if you have a dirty job ahead, but for something more delicate and when you’d rather not leave fingerprints . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .

This jacket is another real favorite. I always like anything from the Swing Era and the ’40’s.
Swing style with an open front, loose back and interesting pocket detail. The fit is so elegant. I also love the decorative buttons on tabs at the waist, which are made as extensions of the pocket flaps. Novel idea.
The material is a heavy rayon (I guess) twill, with a rayon lining. “Tailored by Lydia Fashions New York”. I could spend all day imagining the glamorous life it led!
Very smart for work or for evening. Black is always extremely practical . . . . . . .
