PEARLY BLOOMS
DECADENTLY SOFT & DELICATE
I’m a huge fan of Murdoch Mysteries, a TV detective series set in turn-of-the-century Toronto. But I don’t just tune in for the stories…the ladies costumes are nothing short of amazing! Always so delicate, feminine, and intricate. These gloves were inspired by a time when women gathered in full attire for afternoon tea, but designed for 2017. I wear mine with jeans and a sweater while I drink coffee and write patterns at my local coffee shop.
