Double Face Gloves: A Timeless and Fashionable Accessory

Classic Appeal with a Twist

At Otto Kessler, the international fashion shows and top designers' trends serve as our inspiration for creating unique and fashionable gloves. We believe that there is more to gloves than just keeping your fingers warm; they are a fashion accessory that can accompany you in your daily life.

The Double Face gloves by Anne-Christin Schmitt, the creative mind behind Otto Kessler, are a testament to the brand's commitment to timeless elegance and innovative design. These gloves feature a classic glove shape with a special twist in the hemline. The leather used in these gloves has two faces: the top is black, while the under part is beige. The material is cut into delicate stripes, which are twisted to the hem, revealing the beige side. This twist in the stripes creates a minimalistic braiding effect, adding a touch of uniqueness to the design. The beige tone used at the hem is also used for the topstitch between the fingers, establishing a seamless connection between the fingertips and the hem.

What sets the Double Face gloves apart is not just their design, but also the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into their production. Before leaving the Otto Kessler studio, each pair of gloves undergoes more than twenty different production steps. From the careful selection of the leather to the hand-cutting and sewing of the tiny stitches, every detail is executed with precision and expertise. The gloves are then dressed to bring them into shape before undergoing a final quality control inspection.

The Double Face gloves are not just a fashion statement; they are a testament to the dedication and skill of the fifteen pairs of hands that have invested their utmost care, expert handling, and well-trained eyes into creating a product that meets the highest expectations of comfort and design. These gloves are a result of the perfect blend of craftsmanship and innovation.

With a size of 7, a length of 20cm, and a width of 9.5cm, the Double Face gloves are designed to provide a comfortable fit for a wide range of hand sizes. The design studio, located in Berlin, Germany, worked on this project for one season, ensuring that every detail was meticulously crafted to perfection.

The Double Face gloves have received recognition for their exceptional design. In 2016, they were awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Fashion and Travel Accessories Design category. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Double Face gloves were recognized for their integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and contribution to a better world.
