Wool Gunte Gloves - Light Grey/Sakura

Inspired by the characteristics of gunte (work gloves) these gloves are produced in Tokyo. The combination of wool and nylon results in a material that keeps the hands warm as it softly envelops them. The gloves are knitted with the same technology used for producing work gloves, making them particularly strong, as well as having great insulation thanks to the material they are made of.

Handwash only.

Material: 70% Wool, 30% Nylon

Tōhoku

Tōhoku consists of six prefectures located in the north-east of Honshu island. This region is known for its hot spring (onsen) resorts, colourful festivals, remote sacred mountains and harsh winters. In 2011, the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit the region hard; however, the massive efforts in reconstruction are proof of the people’s resilience. Urushi (lacquer) ware, ironware and the crafting of kokeshi dolls make up but a few of the local industries in this lesser-visited region of Japan.
