Gloves satin pleated black

The black pleated satin gloves are 44 cm long satin gloves where the fabric is gathered into fine pleats over the forearm. They evoke the evening fashion of the Charleston era, with dark satin that shines as soon as the light hits it. You wear them as a lady at a 1920s party, with a Charleston dress or another outfit from that decade.

Satin, pleats and care

• The gloves are approximately 44 cm long and reach just below the elbow when worn.
• The hand and fingers are finished smoothly, and from the wrist to the top edge, the pleats run across the arm like horizontal wrinkles.
• The fabric consists of 98% polyester and 2% elastane.
• You get one pair in solid black, intended for women.
• Wash them by hand and do not bleach, tumble dry, iron or dry clean.

Why do long pleated gloves fit the 1920s?

Long gloves were part of women's evening wear in the 1920s, and with the sleeveless dresses of that era, they covered a large part of the arm. The Charleston was a popular dance in that decade, and the loose dresses danced in often left the arms bare. Pleated means that the fabric is in pleats. This pair has that pleating over the entire forearm, giving the glove more texture than a smooth evening glove. If you want a tight, even line, a plain model is a better fit, but if you are looking for texture on your arm, then you choose this pair.

Satin gloves on a Charleston evening

At a 1920s party, you combine the satin gloves with a sleeveless dress with fringes or sequins, so that the pleats remain clearly visible. A long pearl necklace and a headband with a feather complete the look of that era. Wear your bracelets, then slide them over the glove, as was customary with evening wear. Red lipstick provides a strong contrast with the deep black of the satin.
