This item was made using goatskin. Goatskin is known for being durable and lightweight, and these leather gloves are characterized by their durability, which is comparable to or even greater than that of cowhide. The gloves have a suede exterior, but the grain side that touches the hand will develop a sheen over time. They will also become softer with use, conforming to the hand, while still maintaining their shape. However, they are susceptible to water (easily absorbing it), which can lead to blistering or staining. But, because this item has a suede exterior, these issues are less noticeable, which is appealing. This item is recommended for personal use as well as a gift. Material: goat leather Color: purple Size: M This item is in beautiful condition, only tried on. There are some slight wrinkles at the bending points and joints, but they are hardly noticeable. Thank you.
