Glovemakers
Plate M-20 · 11 stores · curated ORBIS register
Artigiano del Guanto makes hand-stitched gloves through Giovanni Ricciardiello's family workshop in Naples, drawing on the city's glove-making tradition. Omega Gloves also works in Naples, continuing the family glove business established by Gennaro Squillace in 1923. Alberto Squillace represents the fifth generation at Omega, while Artigiano del Guanto produces gloves under its own line.
What makes great glovemakers?
This plate lists 11 shops in 8 countries.
Ask to try both hands: glove sizes vary by maker, so try both gloves on rather than choosing from a chart.
Ask about the lining: unlined, silk-lined and wool-lined gloves suit different seasons, so match the lining to the weather you expect.
Ask whether the gloves are sewn in-house: some shops sell their own work and others stock outside makers, so ask which this pair is.
