Madova Gloves in Florence

[UnnamedPlayer]

I tried contacting them by e-mail a couple of months ago and they not only refused to do custom gloves, but also refused to make anything to order. They only offered me what they had in stock. They wouldn't even take an order for an existing glove in an out-of-stock size. Weird. And unfortunate, as the quality looks pretty damned good for the price.

poor baby.
whatever will you do now?

That is where I looked. Small selection.

unbel - those are carpincho, not peccary.

I picked up a great pair of unlined antelope suede gloves when I was there.

It's time for Unbel to pull a Mr. Moo.

I was told by the people at Madova that the skins were the same, just with a different finish...

Dunno what it means to pull a Moo but I will email Madova to confirm

 

[poorsod]

Carpincho and peccary are different animals. Sometimes in the word peccary is used synonymously.

It's where you order one thing, use it for a bit, then realize what you were sold was misrepresented and ask for your money back.

It's where you order one thing, use it for a bit, and ask for your money back.

That should be rephrased to:

"use it for a few months to complete satisfaction, then realize what you were sold was misrepresented only after extensive consultation of web-experts, and that your discount was not as deep as you thought it to be". Just saying'. Love you.

 

[Mr. Moo]

Semantics.

 

[unbelragazzo]

Haha ok - well I'm happy with the gloves regardless of the animal that perished so that they might be constructed. But I'm still interested in getting the correct information so I will report back when I hear from Madova.

My peccary gloves:

In retrospect, I do wish (as I have said) that they fit a bit better, and that they were more of a mid-brown than this tan-brown color.

 

[dopey]

That's a good color, so don't complain.
How is this for a complaint - I had a great pair of perfectly fitting, unlined Hermes peccary gloves. Now I only have one.

^damn

Dopey, that might be one of the most painful things I've read of late. I'm very sorry for your loss.
