Manimarte Art Gloves, rapidly becoming cult objects amongst its cosmopolitain clients continuously on the lookout for novelties, are constantly evolving. Ideas seem endless... the spring & summer 2004 collection can be summarized in two words: awe and fun.

Mina et Natalia's first new family of models are all about finesse, designed as flowers in high-contrast colours, painted both inside and out, in shades of white, yellow, red and orange.

Driving gloves liberate the fingers and have adjustable wrists; they are alternatively decorated with transparent plastic pop art appliqués and woven with silver threading and brilliant crystals, or with painted tropical fish swimming among their bubbles which become additional port-holes on the world. Colors range from white and acid green to pink.

For the golf pros (or wannabies), it's a spring of flowers and blades of grass over sky blue, yellow and white gloves.
