Description

A snow-covered trail climbing towards the mountain hut, the crisp morning air, the unhurried pace of a winter walk: these are the moments made for our women’s faux fur mittens, an accessory with an alpine character that combines a flair for fashion with the attention to quality and functionality that guides everything we create.

Faux fur envelops the entire hand with a dense, compact pile, soft to the touch and generous in volume. It is the material that shapes the look of this model: a full, welcoming silhouette that recalls the atmosphere of days spent at altitude and conveys a pleasant sense of warmth from the very first moment. The palm and thumb are made of leather, a choice that brings together aesthetics and practicality. The leather reinforces the areas of the hand under the most strain and offers a secure grip when holding a trekking pole, opening the gate of a mountain chalet or reaching for keys in a pocket.

At the wrist, a lace with an alpine feel closes with a metal ribbon slider, comfortable and functional. It opens and closes with a simple gesture and tightens the mitten around the wrist, keeping the warmth inside during mountain walks and long strolls outdoors.
Inside, the 100% cashmere lining welcomes the hand with its softness. Its fine, hollow fibres, rich in microscopic air pockets, create a light insulating layer: hands stay warm outdoors, while the natural breathability of the fibre maintains steady comfort even when you step back indoors.

Every pair takes shape in the expert hands of our artisans, who bring together materials of different kinds such as faux fur, leather and cashmere, following each stage of the work with tailored care, from cutting to finishing.
Designed for the mountains but not only, they pair naturally with winter outerwear, from shearling to down jackets, and move with ease into city life. On journeys by scooter or bicycle, the leather palm offers a secure grip on the handlebars, the metal ribbon slider holds warmth in at the wrist and the faux fur shields the hands from the cold morning air.

A fashion accessory with real substance: these women’s faux fur mittens combine a distinctive sense of style with the solidity of artisanal craftsmanship attentive to every detail, from the leather palm to the metal ribbon slider at the wrist, to accompany many winters in the mountains and in the city with warmth and character.
