Purchased at a department store. There are slits in the thumb and index finger, allowing the fingertips to be exposed, so you can use a touch panel. Although there are slits, they are sewn, giving it a hood-like appearance. There are explanation tags in the images. Please check them. I love Agnes B. and have been collecting them, but I have too many. Unused and stored. I think it's a beautiful item, but please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous about home storage.
