“There’s something very precise about the moment you put on a mitten. Your fingers find each other, your hand warms up, and everything else disappears. It’s a simple gesture, but when the glove is made with care, it becomes something special. Almost a ritual.”
Raffaella Restelli
There’s a reason the mitten exists. It’s not nostalgia, it’s not fashion — it’s physics. Keeping your fingers together retains body heat far better than any individual finger can, no matter how well insulated. It’s the same logic as clenching your fist when it’s very cold. The mitten does it for you, all day long.
At Restelli, we have always known this. Crafting artisan ski mittens means starting from this understanding, and building everything else from there: the choice of leather, the lining, the technical membrane, the details that appear decorative but in fact solve very specific problems.
This conviction is what gave rise to the art. 270 family: artisan ski mittens designed for those who refuse to choose between warmth and beauty. Presented below are two models with much in common — a lining in opossum fur, a waterproof and breathable Hipora® membrane, entirely Italian craftsmanship — that differ in their outer leather and colour, two variables that profoundly change the character of the glove without touching what truly matters: the quality of what you cannot see.
Nappa, opossum and membrane: the art. 270/O
Deerskin: the art. 270/CO
Four colours, one idea
underlying idea. Whether you choose nappa or deerskin, the colour that feels like yours or the one that surprises you, you will always find the same care in the construction and the same attention to every detail.
