From the finest leather gloves, timeless bags and the most beautifully printed scarves, Roeckl has stolen my heart for good. This season’s collection has become more of an endless Christmas wish-list and if I were to name just a few I would choose this bowling bag in an incredibly elegant wool-leather combination, this red flap bag, these ‘silver contact fabric’ gloves (I love the discrete finger texture contrast, an innovative solution for your touch displays), with cashmere and wool lining, and this gorgeous hat (the hat I’ve been dreaming of). Produced in their own manufactories, with the best possible fabrics like leather, silk and cashmere, they are the result of passion, know-how and attention to detail. A family-owned business that has made it its philosophy not to compromise quality over anything: the handwork still plays an essential role in the making of every single product. Over 172 years six generations have devoted themselves to the same vision: “always better to become”.
If you have a few minutes I invite you to watch the art of making gloves, a peek behind the scenes of the long journey of a pair of gloves. Did you know it takes more than 2000 stitches to sew a glove and that the process is more challenging and complicated than that of any other clothing item? Because a glove must be like a second skin. The cold weather prompted me to reach for my greige Roeckl gloves and I can tell you this: they simply make me feel better dressed. And I think this is the purpose of an accessory, wouldn’t you agree? As they beautifully say, a pair of gloves can be missing puzzle piece to a perfect outfit. I hope your weekend was wonderful. Wishing you all a great week!

Hey, Ada! I really know that feeling you are speaking about! I love my leather gloves! And on Friday, when making my day by day dreaming outfits (on polyvore.com :D), I realized that the gloves are the essential pieces for me and said: I have to write a gloves post on Monday :)))! But you did it and you did a great job ;)! Have to check this Roeckl!
And, btw, that hat – amazing! Hope Santa will be reading your list!

Who knew gloves were so labour-intensive?! I have a new found respect for them! That handbag in the first picture might be making its way onto my Christmas list!!
Their accessories looks classic, timeless, and well designed! I never knew how much work went into making gloves, definitely gives me a new appreciation!
I love the scarves!
I don’t know the brand but the bags are beautiful, I loathe heavily branded designer bags, these are perfect.
Gorgeous accessories!!!!!

Actually I’ve just commented on another blog that it’s a pity that gloves are such an underrated item considering that can make a girl and an outfit look so elegant. Beautiful pieces Ada! I didn’t not this label…thank you very much for the introduction…The scarves look amazing and I would not mind one of the printed shawls or the first bag…
Splendid. Love the last image.
Have a great week.

Have a nice week!
Not just the stuff. I like the ad campaign too.

These are beautiful accessories Ada, I especially love the wool/leather pieces. I have been sad that last winter I ruined my favorite pair of leather cashmere lined gloves from my favorite glove shop in Milan…I guess that means I need to go back!
