Shell Knit Gloves in Black by Issey Miyake

Knit gloves that express a shell-like texture. Knit fabric is used for the thumb and index finger to allow you to use your touch screen devices. These gloves come from Issey Miyake's Wool Shell Knits collection — ‘see them as a group of seashells, winding up in a delicate formation... wear them, as if enveloped by seashells to experience the garments animation with every move.’

Using a combination of wool and nylon thread, the checkered pattern is knit with a link stitch to create a three-dimensional look resembling spiral shells. The compact knit twists expand when worn, creating a soft, light form. Pair the Shell Knit Gloves with the Shell Knit Hat for a matching winter-ready look.

Made in Japan.
