concept

This is an accessory collection of fine leather gloves combined with a sense of jewellery. Thomasine took a very simple yet brilliant idea, designing attachments and embossments made from different sized bracelets, from charms like a cross and a heart, from pearls or from a chain on the wrist of the glove, turning these elements into a second skin that in itself is an elegant jewel. Within the collection there were also loose leather bracelets in different shapes and colours to give the hand or the wrist possibilities for a subtle hints of vanity.
