in the beginning . . . .
i've been looking for driving gloves, a la victoria beckham, for about 6 months now:
the search literally went high and low, from the cheap shops in chinatown to chanel and even hermes . . . still i couldn't find the one magic pair that looked exactly as i had envisioned! (to be honest, i don't even *quite* like victoria's enough to buy them
finally, one day, i threw down the gauntlet and resolved to do one last search online, after which i would foresake the driving glove quest forever!
lo and behold . . . on page 12 of the search results
SUCCESS!!!
. . . .BUT. the company was in sweden. they don't distribute in the U.S.
undaunted, i emailed the company through the website and began a correspondence with their very kind and accomodating customer service man, who later revealed that he is also the husband of the designer! can't get more mom & pop than that! throughout the past week, we'd been trying to work out some way for me to pay him, but had yet to reach any simple solution . . .
