It was during the Renaissance period that gloves really began to take on very special and unique meanings. Use caution when handling your Ines gloves, as you never know when history can repeat itself!
Handing a glove to a specific person labeled that person as an enemy. The next step involved throwing that glove under the feet of the enemy. Let the duel begin!
Receiving a glove from a lady had a very different meaning...
The giving of a woman's glove to a male suitor was a symbol of great love and reverence. As a token of his esteem, the recipient would proudly wear this cherished glove around his neck in a special bag.
