There are objects that don’t need to reinvent themselves. They just need to come back.
The Art. 29 Vintage is one of them. A pair of driving gloves that carries with it the entire visual language of great classic motoring – the hand-crocheted cotton back, the perforated nappa palm, the clip-fastening strap – and that returns to production, this time to stay. This is not a simple back in stock: it is the return of an accessory that many have asked us about over the years, one we wanted to bring back for what it has always been: the evolution of an icon.
The driving glove has a long and precise history. Born to meet real technical needs – grip on the wheel, breathability, sensitivity while driving – it has over time become one of the most recognisable accessories in automotive culture.

Giorgio Giangiulio – visionary and style storyteller
These gloves were worn, years ago, by Giorgio Giangiulio – menswear connoisseur, visionary and storyteller of Italian style, craftsmanship and motion. The photo (credits: Fabrizio Di Paolo Photography) that opens this post captures him perfectly: a shot that embodies the spirit of the Art. 29 Vintage, the wheel held firmly in hand, the raking light on that unmistakable crochet. An image that has lost nothing with time; on the contrary, like all great classics, it has only gained.
If you have already come across it in our post dedicated to summer, Summer Ride On, you already know what we are talking about. That story told exactly this: the right glove, the right car, the right light.
Entirely made in Italy, like everything that carries our name.
To stay.
