1950s Hermes Paris Couture Brown Suede Elbow Gloves

£650 Regular price
Unit price
per 

Vintage 1950s Hermès brown suede gloves, made in France during the post-war couture period. This piece exemplifies the refined elegance of mid-century fashion, characterized by elongated silhouettes, precise tailoring, and understated luxury.

Made from high-quality brown suede, soft and supple to the touch. Their over-the-elbow length reflects the formal evening styles of the late 1940s and early 1950s. Brown suede was a favored material of the era, valued for its texture and subtle matte finish.

Inside the gloves, the hexagonal Hermès stamp identifies their period of production — used between the late 1940s and mid-1950s, prior to the adoption of the carriage-and-horse logo.

Care Instructions: Store flat in a cool, dry environment, Keep away from light and humidity, Use acid-free tissue to maintain original form, Handle with clean, dry hands only

CURATORS NOTE: This pair represents a transitional period in Hermès branding and craftsmanship. The combination of material, construction, and marking firmly places it in the early post-war couture era, making it a significant archival accessory. Ideal for collectors, museums, and connoisseurs of historic fashion.

Size: 6.5

Condition Details: This pair remains in excellent condition, showing very light signs of wear. The suede retains its original texture and structure without any shaping or stretching. Such condition is extremely rare for gloves of this age and origin, increasing both their historical and collector value.
