The Paris — Glove Colour: Cape: Black + Turquoise fourchettes + quirks, Lining: Wool, Standard Size: Ladies 7.5" (Large), Touchscreen Palms (Optional): No Thanks
My sister had been looking for black gloves with teal stripes between the fingers for years, but couldn't find them anywhere. She also really dislikes the stitching on the back of gloves that many leather gloves have as standard.
I'd never have even considered getting custom-made gloves, but I found a link to the site, and was surprised at how affordable they were. The idea of custom-made gloves seemed like a perfect gift for her.
I emailed Chester Jefferies and found them extremely helpful, answering all of my questions very promptly. They explained that those stripes between fingers were called fourchettes, and that the stitching (points I think) was purely decorative and so they could make the gloves without them. I ordered the leather booklet first so I could be sure of the colours, and was really glad that I did. The turquoise was close enough to teal that I decided to order the gloves. The Paris style glove best fitted the short style of glove that she prefers.
The gloves were made far quicker than I anticipated, they were extremely well made, warm, and absolutely gorgeous to look at. Better yet they fitted all of my sister's specifications, she absolutely loves them, and they get compliments when she wears them. They even match her favourite bag.
One of the best gifts I've ever bought.
