These gloves are believed to be Athabascan (Athabaskan) from western Canada.
The smaller gloves are sized for a child.
I just can’t get enough of these vintage Native American gloves seen recently at antique fairs. I have never felt anything like the buttery softness of the leather and fur and delight in the pretty beadwork. The combination of artistry and utility produced a remarkable result.
Certainly gloves like this serve as inspiration for Astis and I am looking forward to ski days in my cozy mitts this winter. Click to check out the new Astis models for Winter 2013/14.
