Ines Gloves' glove of the week

This week's glove of the week is devoted to our faithful, furry friends. They willfully bring us our slippers, snuggle on our laps, and keep our toes warm at night...

Introducing My Ines doggy glove! Show your favorite canines just how elegant they can be by wrapping them in a delightful Ines glove. Made of carefully selected kidskin leather and lined in brilliant red, your playful pal will be the talk of the neighborhood!

Being a huge animal lover, I invite our blog followers to send me pictures of their own faithful pups and kitties wearing their Ines doggy glove at erin@inesgloves.com! This glove is suitable for any small dog, and will likely fit a medium-sized cat.

Ines spotlight on Canadian designers - Sarah Stevenson

Congratulations to Sarah Stevenson, the young, talented fashion designer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who recently competed and won the Toronto Fashion Incubator New Labels competition.

Sarah's unique designs are reminiscent of Dutch still life paintings of the Baroque era, and will be seen within the year in Target stores across Canada. Now that this popular chain has ventured above the border, Target is hoping to celebrate Canada. What better way to do this than to celebrate a young, motivated, talented new Canadian designer?

 

Sarah's fashions are truly beautiful, complementing the feminine form and pairing flowery florals with bold, exciting colors.

Personally, I fully intend to keep a close watch on Sarah's collections, and will be eagerly waiting to bring them home to add to my personal collection!

The delightful colors and patterns used in Sarah's creations can be perfectly matched with the unique colors of Ines Gloves. Try a short-sleeved dress with a pair of My sensual shoulder high gloves (on special at Ines' glove shop!) or pair longer sleeves with My silk-lined every day glace gloves for the ultimate in sensuality and elegance!

Congratulations to Sarah Stevenson on her well-deserved honor!

Ines loves Mary Pickford...

 

Known as one of the greatest female film stars of all time, Mary Pickford began her illustrious acting career in the early 1900s, at a time when movies were silent and depended upon the facial expressions and interpretive movements of their actors.

Mary was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and starred in 52 films throughout her career. She epitomizes grace and elegance, seen above in this photograph of Mary and fellow actor Douglas Fairbanks, whom she eventually married in 1920. You too can capture the elegance of Mary's fashion sense with My sensual round top shoulder-high gloves in nude. These gloves make the arms slim and accentuate the feminine contours of the hand and fingers.

Or, for an afternoon walk on a bright autumn afternoon, don a pair of My short every day glace gloves in my cloud (white). Your hands will look very chic... much like the silent film stars of old Hollywood.

Ines Gloves' glove of the week!

This week's feature glove acknowledges our men of leather! My man bare knuckles elk gloves provide a practical tool for driving and makes a bold fashion statement too!

These soft, durable gloves have a uniquely Canadian twist, as they are made of imported Canadian elk hides of the utmost quality. They are weather resistant, and carefully hand-stitched to require no lining for a cool summer fashion.

If you're looking for a multifunctional leather glove, My man bare knuckles elk gloves can easily be worn on those delightful summer afternoons when you get the itch to take the Harley for a ride.

Open road, open gloves... very chic! Check out My man bare knuckles elk gloves at the Ines Gloves' glove shop today!

Warm weather leather - trends for summer 2013

The sun is shining brightly here in Ontario, and the warm summer weather is just around the corner. But what do all we leather lovers do with our gloves? An easy answer... break out the summer wardrobe!



New York fashion week was hot with the newest and brightest leather fashion trends for summer 2013. Burberry, Hermes, and Oscar de la Renta were a few of the celebrity fashion houses to introduce warm weather leather.

Have fun! Pair bright, flowing skirts with a pair of My fashion driving gloves... have fun with a lightweight, ultrasoft summer leather dress and a chic, glossy leather Ines clutch...



Or even better... go wild for a night on the town with a form-fitting leather skirt and a sexy silk blouse... guaranteed to make heads turn!



No matter which warm weather trend you choose to follow, have fun... experiment... and wear leather!

Ines loves Marion Davies...



The year is 1917, and the beautiful Marion Davies has just made her silent film debut in Runaway Romany. Women of this progressive era took on more practical clothing... feather plumed hats, tailored suits, and, most importantly, leather gloves for day-to-day wear.



Even when heading out in the rain, Marion is equipped with her short leather gloves, very similar to Ines Gloves' my classy peccary gloves.

Welcome to Ines Gloves' Friends of Elegance Canada!!

Greetings to all my fellow leather glove lovers, and welcome to Friends of Elegance Canada!

My name is Erin, and I live in Ontario, Canada. I stumbled upon Ines Gloves while searching for a unique pair of fashionable black leather opera-length gloves to wear with a coat I had purchased. As luck would have it, I treated myself to... My sensual past elbow gloves! Never before had I slipped my hands into something so comfortable and luxurious, very much like a second skin.

 

 

Like all who visit this blog, I share a love for Ines leather gloves! Please check back here often for my weekly Ines Gloves' Glove of the Week feature, as well as a variety of informative, fun, and interesting articles... many with a unique Canadian twist.


Yours in elegance,

Erin
