Made in the 1950’s-early 1960’s, this lovely pair of vintage women’s black kid dress gloves are from young goatskin. Label indicates “Real Kid. Made in France”. No brand label. Marked as Size 6 ½, which will likely correspond to a Small in today’s glove sizes. (For more on sizing vintage gloves, see this article online. https://www.chronicallyvintage.com/2012/10/how-to-size-vintage-gloves.html )

Great addition to your vintage glove collection or wearing for retro dressing-up, tea parties, special occasions, weddings, or mid-century modern costumes

This type of glove is a “6-button” glove (where length is expressed in “Buttons” - an antique French unit of measure based on the distance between the base of the thumb and the top edge of the glove). Also known as “Classic”, “Bracelet” or “Coat Length”, there is a total of 13 ½” inches from fingertip to top of glove.

CONDITION: Still soft and supple, the gloves are in Excellent shape for their age, with no fraying in the stitching, no cuts or rips in the leather, nor fading

NOTE: I also have other vintage women’s gloves. Ask me about or see my profile for these other ads.
From a smoke-free, pet-free home. Cash preferred. Buyer pick up.
