Autumn Winter Collection 2025-26 | A message from Raffaella Restelli

Over the past months, we have worked with the care and dedication that have always defined Restelli Guanti, bringing the Autumn Winter 2025-26 Collection to life. A collection presented with pride at Pitti Immagine and shared with our most loyal buyers and clients, gathering precious feedback that confirms how the dialogue with those who love and choose our gloves is an integral part of our creative process.
Following our first appointments, meetings with international buyers and the feedback gathered season after season, Raffaella Restelli wished to share a personal reflection with you. An authentic message, born from the attentiveness and passion that have always guided every choice of the brand.

Raffaella Restelli's message

«Our clients seek in our brand a story they can recognise themselves in, and a quality they can identify with. I want to speak to you about the A/W 2025-26 Collection with a word that perhaps captures our moment better than any other: optimism, but with the careful consideration that has defined us for over 100 years. Our clients appreciate our uniqueness. The thread of colour runs through different styles, binding them together in a coherent narrative, rooted in our heritage and in a vision of luxury that is, above all, an experience.
Wearing a pair of Restelli gloves is exactly that: an experience. A true indulgence. The warmth, the softness, the fit — all of it is felt from the very first moment. Whether you have carried years of loyalty to our brand, or you are discovering us for the first time with curiosity and an open mind, you will understand that you are not simply purchasing an accessory, but something that holds a value, not merely a price. At times I feel the urge to renew, to replace certain styles with something entirely different. New designs are always welcomed with enthusiasm — and this year we had every confirmation of that. Yet, in a recurring way, our clients return to the great classics. The ones recognisable among a thousand. Above all, inimitable. And so change arrives through colour: a new shade that moves through the entire collection, bringing together different materials and silhouettes. And someone looks at me and says: «This is perfect. Why change it?»
This year there is a new addition that has given me great satisfaction, and that has won over everyone without exception. Modern, versatile, wonderfully warm, waterproof and even playful. Perfect over three-quarter length jackets or a heavy knit sweater. Its flared bell-shaped opening sits effortlessly over sleeves, and with its ecological fur lining it becomes the very definition of comfort in glove form. At first glance it made one client smile: «It looks like an oven mitt», he said. Then he tried it on. And he never took it off.

The buckle details continue to receive tremendous appreciation. They are intricate to craft, but the result rewards every effort. In particular, the one covered in leather and finished with a micro ball chain is precisely the kind of research in which I feel compelled to invest the best of my time. It is there that craftsmanship meets passion.
For us, the new Autumn Winter 2025-26 season has already begun, and we cannot wait to see you wearing it. In the coming weeks, our website and social channels will tell the story of this collection in detail, and our online shop will be enriched with new products and many new colours. We look forward to welcoming you.»
