From modest beginnings as a leather glove manufacturer more than 100 years ago to its expansion into the footwear business, Grandoe has earned a well-respected reputation as a leading producer of innovative and high quality products that enhance people’s comfort. Now under the ownership and direction of the fourth and fifth generations of its founding family, Grandoe boasts numerous patented and patent pending comfort technologies in its footwear and glove business. It’s well known brands include Smartdogs? and Hush Puppies? in slippers and Grandoe?, Cire by Grandoe? and Stick It? in gloves and accessories.
When I lived in the North-East, gloves were a necessity in the fall and definitely in the winter. Now that I live back home in the South, gloves are more of a fashion statement. Either way, no ordinary glove will do. With wet and cold snow in the north and dry air in the south, gloves need to by stylish and functional, not just an after thought.
Grandoe’s Fall 2012 Homespun Comfort Collection is just that! With their knit inspired glove styles in fun colors and patterns, you can recapture that fun feeling as a child, when your favorite aunt or grandmother knitted you a pair of mittens each winter, but with a grown up twist.
Each glove has an aloe treated snowfleece lining. The more you wear them, the softer your hands will become. And who doesn’t need that in the harsh winter months? My hands always end up very dry, to the point of cracking and bleeding.
The lining is also extended, giving the gloves a small cuff, which you can roll up or down, whatever makes you comfortable. The microsuede palm is also water resistant, perfect for the extra snowy days where snow piles up on the car door handle and windshield. The other side of the glove has whipstitch detail, offering the gloves a more handmade look to them.
Not quite what you’re looking for? Homespun also offers the Homespun Flip Mitt.
Flip the cover up, to wear a cozy and warm mitten. Flip it down for accessibility. You’ll be able to use your cell phone, hold your kids hand, push a stroller, or push a straw into a juice box. Then put the cover back over for an adorable look.
The Homespun glove line is available in four unique patterns: Lavender, Moose Tracks, Rainbow, and Snowflake. I happen to receive the Lavender patterns and just love it, it’s so cute and bright against my grey pea coat. But, I just might have to pick up a pair in the Snowflake pattern for myself and my bestie! Every girl deserves a well made, stylish glove this holiday season.
