2 PAIR LOT OF VINTAGE BEIGE AND BROWN FUR TRIMMED DESIGNER GLOVES

THE BROWN FOWNES GLOVES WERE MY GRANDMAS AND THE BEIGE VAN RAALTES WERE MOMS. THE FOWNES DOUBLE WOVE COTTON WOMEN'S FASHION GLOVES MADE IN THE U.S.A. SPECIFIC MATERIAL STAMP MARKINGS PINPOINT THEIR PRODUCTION LIKELY TO THE MID 1950'S. FOWNES BROS. AND CO. IS ONE OF THE OLDEST, MOST LEGENDARY NAMES IN THE INDUSTRY, ESTABLISHED IN ENGLAND IN 1777. THE COPANY EXPANDED TO AMSTERDAM AND GLOVERSVILLE N.Y. IN 1903. THEY SHIFTED AWAY FROM MANUFACTURING IN THE USA IN THE LATE 50'S. THE MADE IN USA CONFIRMS THE DATE.( PLEASE SEE PHOTO FOR A SEPERATION IN THE SEAM IN THE CUFF). THE BEIGE ARE VAN RAALTE CO. ESTABLISHED IN 1913. STARTING OUT AS PRODUCERS OF HIGH QUALITY VEILS AND LACE, THE BRAND EVOLVED INTO A PREMIER MID CENTURY LUXURY MANUFACTURER SPECIALIZING IN FINE DRESS AND OPERA GLOVES AND HIGH END . DURING THE 40'S THROUGH THE 60'S THEY GAINED MASSIVE POPULARITY FOR THEIR PATENTED FABRIC TECHNOLOGIES. THEIR TAG LINE WAS BECAUSE YOU LIKE NICE THINGS. THESE ARE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!
