Glovedup gloves

Favorite by no one less then Madonna, Glovedup samples are on sale now. The SS08 collection features a wide range of gloves from hot pink Mesh Long Fingerless gloves to gold with green Brocade Fingerless gloves - as featured in Vogue February 2008. For every day gloves, the Diamond Flower gloves are a great choice. A pair of short fingerless gloves with a keyhole design and hand-painted diamond flowers motif. The thumb and finger holes are trimmed in white binding. For next month, Glovedup is looking to launch a range of new glove styles and shapes, and frilly leggings and tiara's.

Glovedup established its name by their directional design, creating gloves varying from bespoke PVC gloves for Moloko singer Roisin Murphy, to gloves for the Bloomsbury Festival, where Glovedup had a temporary shop. Over the past years Glovedup received numerous private commissions for all kinds of gloves. Bespoke gloves can be tailor-made choosing from the Glovedup archive or by suggesting design ideas.

The glove label is not only appreciated by the stars, but also supplies to many designer labels by the likes of Ana Sekularac, Edward Sexton and Georgina Harley-Smith. Previously the brand collaborated with Heatherette Studio, where they worked on gloves inspired by the Wizard of Oz theme. Gloves were made for Dorothy (Lydia Hearst), the tin-man, and Glenda the Good Witch (Amanda Lepore), among many different designs.

All Glovedup gloves are hand-made in London and come in medium size, which is 7-7.5 ladies glove size. Nearly all the gloves are made out of stretch fabrics and pretty much fit every ladies hand. Prices range from £35 - £65.

Glovedup is a founder member of Fashionspace.com, a web community for fashion and shopping, which launched last December.
