Karl Lagerfeld continues to work in the name of fashion and creates new accessories for the famous brand. Now is the time to see what gloves Chanel offers for fall and winter 2018-2019. Even if we cannot buy original Chanel accessories, they can serve as a good shopping guide.

In the new season, the Chanel collection has been replenished with fingerless gloves. They have not just open fingertips, but in general everything is open, only the thumb is closed a little. This design is not new, open-toed models have a long history. Earlier, the design of mitts was common, where the thumb was separated from the other four fingers, and the back of the hand was covered by a triangular flap. In new models, there is no valve, and therefore the fingers cannot be closed.



Karl Lagerfeld himself is very fond of mitts, and besides, they are very convenient for using a smartphone. These accessories take their name from the French word mitaine - mitten. Initially, mitts were used to protect from the cold when performing work that required the mobility of the fingers, and then models with rich decor and even thin lace appeared.

In Europe, gloves are often a style element, but in Russia they have a more practical meaning. Very soon in Moscow and other cities without gloves will be uncomfortable. As you know, hands suffer from poor water, household chores and the sun, and if you add more cold and wind here, the skin of your hands will age faster. Therefore, in the conditions of the Russian climate, Chanel gloves are suitable only for autumn and the warmest winter days.



In any case, mitts are a wonderful accessory, they can complement a variety of images and will not lose their relevance in the future. The new Chanel collection features lambskin and velvet models.
