Gloves are probably the least desirable piece of the winter wardrobe and most of the time I just feel like I a penguin when I have to wear them. I mean, have you ever seen a really cool pair of gloves? Well me neither, until I came across these weathered vintage leather gloves, hand-painted by LA-based artist Bunnie Reiss…
Aren’t they just the coolest things you ever did see?
“My Cosmic Animal Gloves are one of my favorite on-going projects where I get to play with the idea of old and new, symmetry and our strange connection to the cosmic world of spirit animals,” says Bunnie, who also frames them like museum-worthy pieces and puts them up for sale on her website. I don’t know how long the paint would last if I wore them all winter, but I certainly wouldn’t be keeping these babies behind glass. Bunnie often has a set for sale in her studio, but she’ll happily make you a set if you reach out to her at bunniereiss@gmail.com.
Bunnie also paints anything from shoes (see her collection here) and other leather goods to cars and buildings…
So that’s all now. Just some killer gloves to keep a quirky kid going through winter.
